17 The Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.13.100) refers to Ātreya as Cāndrabhāgin. Ātreya is supposed to have lived on the summit of the Candrabhāga mountain or on the banks of the Candrabhāgī river (Vṛddhatrayī 74), i.e., the Chenab in the Pañjāb (N.N. Bhattacharyya, 1991: 104; Nando Lal Dey, 1979: 47; MW). P.V. Sharma (AVI 79) claims that Candrabhāgā was the name of Ātreya's mother. See: Ātreya.
