पुराणम्
English
गृत्समद १ / GṚTSAMADA I. A celebrated sage. He was the son of a sage called vītahavya. gṛtsamada was equal to bṛhaspati and a great friend of indra. Once this sage lectured to yudhiṣṭhira on the glory of śiva. Many have mistaken Grtsamada for indra. Once the asuras bound him by ropes mistaking him for indra. He had a son named Kucetā. (For more details see under Variṣṭhā) (Chapters 18 and 30, anuśāsana parva).
गृत्समद २ / GṚTSAMADA II. A King of the bhārgava dynasty. He was the son of King suhotra. gṛtsamada had two brothers. kāśya and kuśa, and a son, śunaka. (9th skandha, bhāgavata).
गृत्समद ३ / GṚTSAMADA III. The son born to indra of Mukundā. There is the following story about him in Gaṇeśa purāṇa.
Once when rukmāṅgada was out from the palace, indra, in the guise of rukmāṅgada, went to Mukundā, wife of rukmāṅgada, and slept with her who was at that time sexually hungry. She delivered a child in due course. This boy was gṛtsamada. He grew into a great scholar. Nobody was able to defeat him in any verbal duel. Once gṛtsamada went to the palace of the king of magadha to attend a śrāddha (an offering to the manes) along with vasiṣṭha and others. atri Maharṣi who was present there then spoke slightingly of Gṛtsamada's parentage and gṛtsamada coming home questioned his mother. The mother then told him what had happened and gṛtsamada getting angry at the immoral act committed by his mother cursed her and said “May you be a Kaṇṭaka tree”. Mukundā also did not leave her son free. She cursed him thus “You will have a demon as your son”. But gṛtsamada went and did penance to propitiate gaṇapati and got Brāhmaṇya.
Vedic Reference
English
Gṛtsa-mada is the name of a seer to whom the Sarvānu-
kramaṇī attributes the authorship of the second Maṇḍala of the
Rigveda. This tradition is supported by the Aitareya Brāh-
maṇa^1 and the Aitareya Araṇyaka.^2 The Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa^3
speaks of him as a Bhārgava, ‘descendant of Bhṛgu, ’ with a
variant Bābhrava, ‘descendant of Babhru, ’ but the later
tradition keeps to the former patronymic.^4 The Gṛtsamadas
are often mentioned in the second Maṇḍala of the Rigveda, ^5
and are also called Śunahotras, ^6 but never Gārtsamadas or
Śaunahotras, and Gṛtsamada himself never occurs there.^7
