Bhrigu

भृगु · bhṛgu

One of the great seers; founder of the Bhargava line

His descendants include the teacher of the demons and the warrior-priest who trained Bhishma.

Bhrigu is one of the mind-born sons of Brahma and among the foremost of the ancient seers. His family, the Bhargavas, runs all through the Mahabharata: Ushanas, teacher of the asuras, and Parashurama, who taught Bhishma, Drona and Karna, are both of his line. Krishna says that among the great seers he is Bhrigu.
