68 Ātreya Punarvasu is frequently referred to as the son of Atri in the Carakasamhitā and by Vāgbhaṭa (see the references to Atrisuta, etc.). Some authors stressing that Ātreya was the son of Atri are: the Gulabkunverba team (I, 47–48); Jyotir Mitra and Satya Pal Gupta (1966); the authors of the sampādakīya (6) to ed. hh of the Carakasamhitā; R. Śāstrī (1977): 384; P.V. Sharma (1992d): 177; G.P. Srivastava (1954): 32; B. Tripāṭhī, bhūmikā (7) to ed. II of the Carakasamhitā; Y.K. Tripāṭhī (1987): 19. Hemarājaśarman (upodghāta 79) regards Ātreya as a gotra name (see on this gotra: G.S. Ghurye 1972). P. Rāy and H.N. Gupta (1965): 2) consider Ātreya to be a descendant or follower of Atri.
