| BHAGVAT PURAN The name of Rishi Angiras, Gautam, etc. are mentioned in Shrimad Bhagavat Puran which is written as under.
CANTO 1 : Creation
Chapter 4 - The Appearance of Shri Narad
(20) Rig, Yaju, Sam and Atharv were the names of these four Veds while the Itihas (the single histories) and the Purans (the collections of histories) were called the fifth Ved. (21) After that the Rig Ved was propagated by the rishi Paila, the Sam Ved by the learned Jaimini, while Vaisampayan was the only one versed enough to qualify for the defense of the Yajur Ved. (22) The serious respect for the Atharv Ved was with Angiras, also called Sumantu Muni while the Itihas and the Purans, were defended by my father Romaharshana. (23) All these scholars on their turn distributed the knowledge entrusted to them to their disciples who did the same with their following who did so with their pupils, and thus the different branches of followers of the Veds came about. (24) In order to have the Ved assimilated as much by the less intellectual ones, the great sage of lordship Vyas took care to edit it for the ignorant. (25) Thinking this way, for the welfare of the more foolish working class, the women [see 6.9: 6 & 9], and the friends of the twice-born who themselves do not work for understanding, was the sage as merciful to take to their benefit down the story of the Mahabharat.
(26) O dear twice-born, by no means could he, who was always working for the welfare of all living beings, find satisfaction at that time. (27) Knowing what religion is, said he, purified in seclusion at the bank of the Sarasvati, thus from the dissatisfaction of his heart to himself:
Chapter 9 - The Passing Away of Bhishmadev in the Presence of Lord Krishna
(4) Upon seeing Bhishma lying on the ground like a demi-god fallen from heaven, bowed Yudhishthir, together with his brothers and the Lord with the disc, Krishna, down before him. (5) There were present the rishis of goodness amongst the learned, together with the godly and the kings, just to see the chief of the descendants of King Bharat [the common ancestor]. (6-7) Parvat Muni, Narad, Dhaumya, Lord Vyas, Brihadasva, Bharadvaj and Parshuram were there with their disciples as also Vashishth, Indrapramad, Trita, Gritsamad, Asit, Kakshivan, Gautam, Atri and Kaushik as well as Sudarshan. (8) O learned ones, also many other sages like Sukhdev, the instrument of God, the instrument of God, and other pure souls as Kashyap and Angiras arrived there accompanied by their disciples.
Chapter 19 - The Appearance of Sukhdev Goswami
(8) "At that place gathered on the plea of a pilgrimage all the great minds and thinkers who together with their pupils are capable of elevating the entire world. It is because of their personal presence that the holy places enjoy their status of sancticity. (9-10) Atri, Cyavana, Sharadwaan, Arishthanemi, Bhrigu, Vashishth, Parashar, Vishvamitra, Angiras, Parashuram, Uthathya, Indrapramad, Idhmavahu, Medhatithi, Devala, Arshthisena, Bharadvaj, Gautam, Pippalada, Maitrey, Aurva, Kavasha, Kumbhayoni, Dvaipayana and the great personality Narad arrived there.
CANTO 2 : The Cosmic Manifestation
Chapter 24 - The Renunciation of Kardama Muni
(20)
Maitreya said: 'Having reassured the couple did Hamsa [another
name for Brahma as flying the transcendental swan] the creator
of the universe along with the Kumars [his sons] and Narad [the
spokesman] return to his supreme position over the three worlds.
(21) After the departure of Brahma, o Vidura, handed Kardama as
was told, his daughters over to the ones who were thereafter responsible
for the creation of the world population. (22-23) Kala he handed
over to Mareechi, Ansuya he then gave to Atri, Shraddha he gave
Angiras and Havirbhu was given to Pulastya. Gati he gave Pulaha
and the virtuous Kriya he found suitable for Kratu; Bhrigu he
gave Khyati and also Arundhati was given away to sage Vashishth.
(24) Atharva he gave to Shanti, by whom the sacrificial ceremonies
are performed. Thus were the foremost brahmins married to their
wives and were they maintained by him. (25) When they were married
this way, o Vidura, did the sages take leave of Kardama to go
to their hermitages, departing in joy over what they had obtained.
Chapter 12 - Creation of the Kumars and Others
(1) Maitreya said: 'Thus far I described to you, o Vidura, the glories of the Super soul under the name of kala, now just try to understand from me how the repository of the Veds [Brahma] created the things as they are.
(2) First came about [as the five types of ignorance:] the idea that one would die [andhatamisra], then indignation [tamisra], next all the craving of infatuation [mahamoha] and then there was the delusional of error [like identifying oneself with the body, etc., moha] as well as the darkness of the nescience about one's own engagements [tamas]. (3) Seeing such a troublesome creation he [Brahma] didn't feel much for himself; he then, purified by meditating the Supreme Lord, found the mind for another one. (4) To that the great self-born sages Sanaka, Sananda, Sanatana and Sanat-kumar found their existence who are free from all fruitive action and who are of the celibate ['whose seed goes upwards']. (5) He commissioned them, his sons, from within: 'O my sons do procreate', but they didn't desire that, pledged as they were to the principles of liberation in devotion for the Personality of Godhead. (6) He, thus disrespected by the sons who refused to follow the order, developed an anger which he could not show and to his best tried to put to an end. (7) In spite of controlling it by meditation, from between the eyebrows of the original father his anger, instantly a child was born of a color mixed of red [for passion] and blue [for ignorance]. (8) That child loudly cried out to the father of all the gods: 'O Powerful one, o ruler of destiny, assigns me my names and places of commitment, o teacher of the universe.'
(9) Being requested as the all-powerful one born from the lotus, he accepted the plea and gently pacified it with the words: 'Do not cry, I shall do as you desire. (10) O boy, chief of the demigods, because you were so anxiously crying out aloud, the people will address you by the name of Rudra. (11) The heart, the senses, the life air, the ether, the air, fire and water, earth and the sun, the moon and also austerity for sure are all the places that are reserved for you. (12) All your names are: Manyu, Manu, Mahinasa, Mahan, Shiv, Ritadhvaj, Ugrareta, Bhav, Kala, Vamadev and Dhritavrat. (13) Dhi, Dhriti, Rasala, Uma, Niyut, Sarpi, Ila, Ambika, Iravati, Svadha and Diksha are, o Rudra, your eleven wives. (14) Accept these different names and places and the wives belonging to them; generate progeny with them on a large scale, for you are the master of the living beings.' (15) Thus being ordered by his own spiritual master, the most powerful one of the mix of blue and red brought forth the generations who like himself were of the same strength, features and furious nature. (16) Seeing from the activities of the sons that were generated by Rudra that the unlimited number of them all together devoured the entire universe, the father of the living beings became afraid: (17) 'O best of the demigods, [he said,] enough of your generating this kind of living beings; they, by the fiery flames of their eyes, scorch every direction and me as well. (18) Be situated in penance that is auspicious for you. By penance only will the living entities find happiness and will you create a world to your liking as it was before. (19) Only by penance can a person fully know the supreme light of respect for the Supreme Lord beyond the senses who resides in the heart of everyone.'
(20) Maitreya said: 'Thus on the request of the self-born one, he [Rudra] circumambulated the master of the Veds, that way confirming Him with mantras, and entered for the sake of penance the forest. (21) Thinking of creation were, empowered with the potency of the Venerable One, then [by Brahma] ten sons begotten to give rise to the world population: (22) Thus Mareechi, Atri, Angiras, Pulastya, Pulah, Kratu, Bhrigu, Vashishth, Daksh and the tenth son, Narad, were born. (23) Deliberating on transcendence Narad came into being, Daksh came from the thumb; from the life air Vashishth saw the light, while Bhrigu came from his touch and the sage Kratu from his hand. (24) Pulah generated from the navel, Pulastya from his ears, the great sage Angiras from the mouth, from the eyes the sage Atri came forth and the sage Mareechi appeared from the mind. (25) From the right side of the breast, where Narayana resides, religion manifested while irreligion, from which the world fears the horrors of death, appeared from his back. (26) From the heart lust manifested, from the eyebrows anger, from between his lips greed, from the mouth originated the drive to speak while from his penis the flood came and from the anus, the reservoir of all vices, the lowest activities. (27) From his shadow Kardama Muni, the husband of Devahuti, manifested. Thus was from as well the master his body as his mind this living universe of the creator evolved.
CANTO 4 : The Creation of the Fourth Order, the Lord's Protection
Chapter 1 - Genealogical Table of the Daughters of Manu
32) As the husband and wife were looking on did the chief demigods, thus having offered the desired benediction being perfectly worshiped, return from there. (33) Soma appeared as a partial expansion of Lord Brahma, Dattatrey as a very powerful yogi of Lord Vishnu, and Durvasa as a partial expansion of Shankara [Shiv]. Hear now about the generations that came from Angiras. (34) Shraddha, the wife of Angiras, gave birth to the daughters Sinivali, Kuhu and Raka with Anumati as the fourth one. (35) Besides them were the sons born from him very famous in the millennium of Svarocisha Manu [the second Manu after Svayambhuva]: the mighty Ucathya and Brihaspati, the full of the brahminical in person.
CANTO 5 : The Creative Impetus
Chapter 9 - The Supreme Character of Jada Bharat
(1-2) Shri Shuka said: 'After having given up his life in the body of a deer obtained Bharat, the most exalted devotee and most honored of all saintly kings, his last body as a brahmin so is said. As the male child of a twin brother and sister was he born from the second wife of some brahmin of the line of saint Angiras who was endowed with the qualities of a perfect control over the mind and the senses, of penance, vedic study and recitation, of renunciation, satisfaction, tolerance, kindness, knowledge, of no envy, and of spiritual happiness in the wisdom of the soul; with his first wife he had nine sons all equal to him in education, character, behavior, beauty and magnanimity. (3) Also in that birth by the special mercy of the Lord remembering his previous lives, was he, being greatly apprehensive not to fall down again, in association with his own kind always afraid of being obstructed on the path of devotional service and kept he his mind close to his soul by always thinking of the two lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, hearing and remembering the descriptions of the qualities which vanquish the bondage to fruitive labor; but to the local people he showed himself as being of a mad, dull and blind character [of which he is called Jada]. (4) His brahmin father who for sure affectionately felt obliged to his son, thought that he, as a father to a son, should teach him, even though against his will, that indeed the regulative principles should be followed, so that, until the end of his student life, he again, as one of the sacred thread, would practice the duties of cleanliness of the purification process as prescribed by the Shastras. (5) But also before his father he acted as if he couldn't understand a thing of what was instructed. For four months during the summer wishing to teach him the vedic mantras including the Gayatri preceded by Omkar, did he, despite of the full study of them, not succeed in having him completely mastering them. (6) Thus thinking that his son, although he didn't like it, by himself should be fully instructed in all the cleanliness, vedic study, vows, principles, sacrifice and service to the guru that belongs to the celibate state [the brahmacarya-ashram], was the brahmin, in that considering his son to be his life and soul, himself heavily attached to his home indeed so that, in the course of the in its turn not so forgetful time, he had to take leave of the world as a man frustrated by the unfit obstinacy of his son. (7) After that did the youngest wife, of whose womb the twins were born, entrust the care for them to the first wife and followed she her husband to where he resided in his afterlife [Patilok].
CANTO 6 : Prescribed Duties for Mankind
Chapter 15 - The Saints Narad and Angiras Instruct King Citraketu
(11) As desired indeed do you brahmins, who are so dear to the Lord, dressed like madmen wander over the surface of the earth in order to awaken those who, like me, are of a familial intelligence. (12-15) Sanat-kumar, Narad, Ribhu, Angiras, Devala, Asita, Apantaratama [an early name of Vyasadev], Markandey and Gautam; Vashishth, Bhagavan Parshuram, Kapil, Sukhdev, Durvasa, Yajnavalkya and Jatukarn as well as Aruni, Romasha, Cyavana, Dattatreya, Asuri, Patanjali, the sage Dhaumya head of the Veds and the wise Pancashikha, Hiranyanabha, Kaushalya, Shrutadeva and Ritadhvaja; all these and other masters of perfection are the wandering spiritual educators. (16) Therefore let from you the torchlight of spiritual knowledge be ignited o masters, as I am but a village dog with a foolish vision that is blind in the midst of darkness.
CANTO 8 : Withdrawal of the Cosmic Creations
Chapter 4 - Ambarish Maharaj Offended by Durvasa Muni
(22) In horse sacrifices executed by brahmins like Vashishth, Asit and Gautam, worshiped he, everywhere the Sarasvati river flowed through the desert countries, the Lord of Sacrifice, the Supreme Controller, with great opulence and all the prescribed paraphernalia and remuneration.
Chapter 13 - Description of Future Manus
(1) Shri Shuka said: 'Now hear from me about the children of the son of Vivasvân known in the world as Shraddhadev - he who presently is the seventh Manu [we are now in the twenty-eighth yug of him who is also known as Vaivasvat Manu]. (2-3) The ten sons of Manu are known as Ikshvaku and Nabhag indeed, Dhrishtha and also Sharyati, Narishyanta and Nabhaga [or Nriga] with Dishtha as the seventh; further are there Tarusha [or Karushaka] and Prishadhra and Manu's tenth who is known as Vasuman [or Kavi] [see also 9.1: 11-12]. (4) O King, Purandara is there as the Indra of the Aditiyas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Vishvedevas, the Maruts, the Ashvins and the Ribhus [the demigods]. (5) Kashyap, Atri, Vashishth, Vishvamitra, Gautam, Jamadagni and Bharadvaj are known as the seven sages mentioned before. (6) During this period was the appearance of the Supreme Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Vaman as the youngest of Aditi secured by Kashyap Muni.
CANTO 9 : Liberation
Chapter 2 - The Dynasties of Six of the Sons of Manu
(26) The latter's son was Avikshit whose son was Marut who became emperor. The great mystic Samvarita (samvart) , the son of Angiras, engaged him in performing a yajna.
Chapter 21 - The Dynasty of Bharat: the Story of Rantidev
(34) A non-identical twin, one male one female, was born from Mudgala, Bharmyashva's son. The boy was called Divodasa and the girl was named Ahilya. From her marriage with Gautam was Shatanand born [personalities also mentioned in the Ramayana]. (35) Of him there was a son Satyadhriti, an expert in archery, and of Sharadwaan, his son, were, simply by him seeing Urvashi of his semen falling on a clump of shara grass, a male and a female child born that were a great blessing. (36) During a hunt wandering in the forest saw King Shantanu the twin whom he out of compassion took with him, naming the boy Kripa and the girl Kripi. She later became Dronacarya's wife.
CANTO 10 : Summum Bonum
Chapter 84 - Vasudev of Sacrifice to the Sages at Kurukshetra Explaining the Path of Success
(1) Shri Shuka said: 'When Pritha, the daughter of the king of Subala [Gandhari] and Draupadi, Subhadra and the wives of the kings as well as His gopis, heard of the loving attachment [of the wives] to Krishna, Lord Hari, the Soul of All, were they all greatly amazed, with tears filling their eyes. (2-5) As the women were thus conversing with the women and the men with the men, arrived, eager to see Krishna and Ram at that place, the sages Dvaipayana, Narad, Cyavana, Devala and Asit; Vishvamitra, Shatanand, Bharadvaja and Gautam; Lord Parshuram and his disciples, Vashishth, Galava, Bhrigu, Pulastya and Kashyap; Atri, Markandey and Brihaspati; Dvita, Trita, Ekata and the sons of Brahma [the four Kumaras] as also Angiras, Agastya, Yajnavalkya and others headed by Vamdev.
CANTO 11 : General History
Chapter 1 - The Curse Upon the Yadu Dynasty
12) After having performed favorable rituals to bestow piety, stayed the sages Vishvamitra, Asita, Kanva, Durvasa, Bhrigu, Angiras, Kashyap, Vamadeva, Atri, Vashishth, along with Narad and others, [some day] in the house of the lord of the Yadus [Vasudeva]. Thereafter went they to Pindaraka [a site of pilgrimage] to the occasion of which the Lord bid them farewell, He, the Soul of Time about whom chanting is so auspicious for the entire world because the impurities of Kali-yug are taken away by it. (13-15) There were they by the young boys of the Yadu dynasty in a game approached in which Samba the son of Jambavati [see also 10.68] had dressed up in woman's clothes. Taking hold of their feet asked them, feigning humility, impudently: 'This black-eyed pregnant woman would like to have a son, o learned ones. But she is too embarrassed to ask it herself. Therefore we ask you whether you, with your vision that is never clouded, can tell whether she'll give birth to a son or not?'
(16) O King, the sages thus being tricked said angered to the boys: 'She will bear you, o fools, a mace which will destroy the dynasty!'
(17) They, most terrified to hear that, hastily uncovered the belly of Samba wherein they indeed found a club made of iron. (18) 'What have we done, what will the family say of us? What a bad luck!' Thus being overwhelmed speaking took they the club and went they home. (19) With the beauty of their faces faded, brought they the club to the king [Ugrasen] during a meeting of all the Yadus and told they what had happened. (20) When they saw the club and heard about the infallible curse of the learned, o King, were the inhabitants of Dvaraka amazed and distraught with fear. (21) Having that club ground to bits threw Âhuka [Ugrasen], the Yadu king, the bits together with the remaining iron of the club into the water of the ocean. (22) The lump was swallowed by some fish. The bits were from that place by the waves carried away and washed ashore where they grew into sharp canes [called eraka]. (23) The fish in the ocean was together with others caught in a net by a fisherman. The piece of iron contained in the fish's stomach was fixed by a hunter [called Jara] on an arrow [as an arrowhead]. (24) The Supreme Lord very well knowing the meaning of all that happened, didn't want to undo what had passed though and accepted, exhibiting His form of Time, the curse of the brahmins.'
CANTO 12 : The Age of Deterioration
Chapter 6 - Maharaj Parikchit Liberated and the Ved Handed Down in Four
(48-49) O brahmin, in this period [of Manu], requested the rulers over the worlds - Brahmz and Shiv and others - the Supreme Lord, the Protector of the Universe, to protect the principles of religion. The Lord descending as a part [Vishnu] then appeared as a part of His plenary expansion [Sankarshana], in the womb of Satyavati as the son [named Krishna Dvaipayana Vyas] of Parashar to split the Ved in four. (50) He, just like sorting out gems separating the accumulation of mantras, made the four specific categories of collections [samhitas]: the Rig, Atharv, Yajur and Sam Ved [see Veds]. (51) To them called the greatly intelligent and powerful sage, one by one four of his disciples near to give each of them a collection, o brahmin. (52-53) He taught Paila the first collection [the Rig Ved] naming it Bahvrica ['many verses'], to Vaishampayan he spoke the collection of Yajur mantras naming them Nigada ['the recited'], the Sam mantras named Chandoga ['singer in metre'] he taught Jaimini, and the mantras to the names of Atharv and Angiras he entrusted his dear disciple Sumantu [see also 4.21: 22]. (54-56) Pail spoke his Samhita [divided in two] to Indrapramiti and Bashkala and the latter further spoke it, dividing his collection in four, o son of Bhrigu [S'aunaka], to his disciples Bodhya, Yajnavalkya, Parashar and Agnimitra. Indrapramiti, self-controlled, taught his collection to the learned seer [his son] Mandukeya, whose disciple Devamitra taught it to Saubhari and others. (57) Shakalya, his son, divided his collection in five parts whom he gave to Vatsya, Mudgala, Shaliya, Gokhalya and Shishira. (58) Sage Jatukarnya, also a disciple of him [Shakalya] added to the collection he received a glossary in passing it down to Balaka, [a second] Pail, Jabala and Viraj. (59) Bashkali [the son of Bashkala] made from all the different branches [of the Rig ved] the collection called the Valakhilya-samhita which so next was accepted by [the Daitya sons] Valayani, Bhajya and Kashara. (60) Thus were the collections of these many verses by these brahmin rishis maintained in [disciple] resolve; hearing of the distribution of these sacred verses is one freed from all sins.
(61) The disciples of Vaishampayana, became authorities in the Atharv Ved and are known as the Carakas ['the ones vowed'] because they executed strict vows to atone for the sin of their guru of having killed a brahmin. (62) Yajnavalkya, one of his disciples, in this respect had said: 'O master, what would be the value of the endeavors of these weak fellows? I'll perform a most difficult penance!'
(63) Thus addressed got his spiritual master angry and said: 'Go away, enough of you insulting the learned; give right now everything up you learned from me!'
(64-65) The son of Devarata then regurgitated the collected Yajur mantras and left from there. The sages greedily looking at these Yajur mantras, turning into partridges picked them up; thus became these branches of the Yajur-ved known as the most beautiful Taittiriy-samhita ['the partridge collection']. (66) O brahmin, Yajnavalkya, thereafter seeking for additional mantras not even known to his spiritual master, carefully offered prayers to the mighty controller of the sun.
(67) Shri Yajnavalkya said: 'My obeisance unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead who, appearing as the sun, in the form of the Super soul is present [as the Controller] in the form of Time in the hearts of the four kinds of living entities beginning from Brahma down to the blades of grass [as born from wombs, eggs, moist and seed, see also 2.10: 37-40]. The same way as the sky is not covered by material designations ['clouds'] do You alone by the flow of years made up of the tiny fragments of kshanas, lavas and nimeshas [see 3.11: 7] carry out the maintenance of this universe by taking away and giving back the water [as rain]. (68) O Lord of the Sun, o glowing one, o Best Among the Ones Awakened, by the rules of the sacred tradition I daily meditate at the [three] junctures of the day with full attention upon the glowing sphere of You, the Mighty Controller, who of all those who offer prayers burns all the sins, their consequent suffering and that what lead to it [see also 11.14: 35 and the Gayatri]. (69) You in this world indeed are the Lord dwelling in the hearts of all the moving and nonmoving living beings that depend on the shelter of You who animates the nonliving matter of the mind, the senses and the different vital airs [the vayus]. (70) You, most magnanimous alone mercifully glancing over with the gift of sight, raise up the sleeping people of this world that, seized and swallowed by the horrible mouth of the python acknowledged as darkness, as if dead fell into the unconscious; to the beginning, half way and at the end of the day You so, day after day, engage, for the soul to be found, the pious in the ultimate benefit known as their personal duty and nature of service [svadharma]. (71) Like an earthly king you travel all around creating fear among the unholy while the controlling deities of the directions holding lotus flowers from different sides with folded palms offer their respects. (72) Thus am I, in the desire for yajur-mantras unknown to others, with worship indeed approaching the two of Your lotus feet, o Lord, that are honored by the spiritual masters of the three worlds [lokas, and see 5.23: 8].' "
(73) Suta said: "He, the Supreme Lord of the Sun being satisfied, assuming the form of a horse, presented the yajur-mantras never learned by any other mortal to the sage [see also 5.18: 6]. (74) With the hundreds of yajur-mantras contrived the mighty sage fifteen branches and accepted by the disciples of Kanva and Madhyandina are they, produced from the manes of the horse, thus known as Vajaseneyi. (75) Of Jaimini Rishi, the reciter of the Sam Ved, there was a son Sumantu as well as his grandson Sutvan; to each of them he spoke one of the two parts of the collection. (76-77) Sukarma, another disciple [of Jaimini], and great thinker divided the tree of the Sam-ved into a thousand collections of sam-mantras after which, o brahmin, the two disciples Hiranyanabha, the son of Kushala, and Paushyanji plus another one, Avantya, most advanced in spiritual realization, took charge of the sam-mantras. (78) There were in total five hundred disciples of Paushyanji and Avantya who are called the Sam Ved singers of the north, as also differently [in later times, some of them] the eastern singers. (79) Other disciples of Paushyanji, namely Laugakshi, Mangali, Kulya, Kushida and Kukshi, each took a hundred collections of mantras. (80) Krita, the disciple of Hiranyanabha, spoke twenty four Samhitas to his disciples; the remaining ones were spoken by the self-realized sage Avantya.
Footnote: The Shrimad Bhagavatam is also known by the name of 'Paramahamsa Samhita': the collection of stories about the Supreme Swanlike Lord.
Chapter 11 - Vishnu His Attributes and the Order of the Month of Him as the Sun-god
(32) Beginning with Madhu is the Supreme Lord assuming the form of time, for the planetary motion there to the rule of twelve [months or masas, see also B.G. 10: 21], moving separately with twelve sets of associates. (33) Dhata [as the sun-god], Kritasthali [as the Apsara], Heti [as the Rakshasa], Vasuki [as the Naga], Rathakrit [as the Yaksh], Pulastya [as the sage] and Tumburu [as the Gandharv] are the ones ruling the month of Madhu (or Caitra at the vernal equinox, March/April). (34) [Like wise do respectively] Aryam, Punjikasthali, Praheti, Kacchanira, Athauja, Pulah and Narad rule the month of Madhava (Vaishakha, April/May). (35) Mitra, Menaka, Paurusheya, Takshaka, Rathasvana, Atri and Haha are the ones ruling the month of Shukra (Jyaisthha or Jeshthha, May/June). (36) Varuna, Rambha, Citrasvana, Shukra, Sahajanya, Vashishth and Huhu are the ones ruling the month of Shuci (Ashadha, June/July). (37) Indra, Pramloca, Varya, Elapatra, Shrota, Angiras and Vishvavasu are the ones ruling the month of Nabhas (Shravana, July/August). (38) Vivasvan, Anumloca, Vyaghra, Shankhapala, Asarana, Bhrigu and Ugrasen are the ones ruling the month of Nabhasya (Bhadrapada, August/September). (39) Pusha, Ghritaci, Vata, Dhananjaya, Suruci, Gautam and Sushen are the ones ruling the month of Tapas (Magha, January/February). (40) Parjanya, Senajit, Varca, Airavata, Ritu, Bharadvaj and Vishva are the ones ruling the month of Tapasya (Phalguna, February/March). (41) Amshu, Urvashi, Vidyucchatru, Mahashankha, Tarkshya, Kashyap and Ritasen are the ones ruling the month of Sahas (Margashirsha, November/December). (42) Bhaga, Purvacitti, Sphurja, Karkothaka, Ûrna, Âyu and Arishthânemi are the ones ruling the month of Pushya (Pausha, December/January). (43) Tvashtha, Tilottama, Brahmapeta, Kambalashva, Shatajit, Jamadagni the son of Ricika and Dhritarashthra as the Gandharv are the ones ruling the month of Isha (Ashvin, September/October). (44) And Vishnu, Rambha, Makhapeta, Ashvatara, Satyajit, Vishvamitra and Suryavarca are the ones ruling the month of Ûrja (Karttika, October/November).
(45) These ones constitute the glories of Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the form of the sun-god; they do, of those men who at the junctures of each day remember them, take away the sinful reactions. (46) Thus with each of the twelve months and six types of associates moving through this universe, is the Godhead, for its population, here and in the hereafter sure to disseminate pure consciousness. (47-48) With the sages glorifying Him with the Sam, Rig and Yajur hymns which reveal His identity, do the Gandharvas sing loudly about Him, dance the Apasaras in front of Him, ready the Nagas the chariot, harness the Yakshas the horses and do the strong Rakshasas push it from the rear. (49) In front of the chariot go the sixty thousand Valakhilya brahmin sages pure of praise with prayers to the Almighty [see also 4.1: 39]. (50) The Unborn Lord Hari, the Supreme Controller, the Beginning less Possessor of All Opulence's, expanding Himself each kalp into various forms, thus protects all the worlds. |
