Śaradvat^1, a ṛshi. § 83 (Ādivaṃśāvatāraṇa): I, 63, 2435 (Gautamāt, father of Kṛpa and Kṛpī).--§ 198: Janamejaya said: “Tell me the birth of Kṛpa.” Vaiś. said: The maharshi Gotama had a son Śaradvat, born with arrows. Ś. studied the Dhanurveda in preference to the Vedas, and by his austerities he came to master all weapons. Indra was afraid of him, and sent the devakanyā (cf. v. 5078: apsarasaṃ) Jānapadī to disturb him. He fled from her
but from his seed that had fallen upon a clump of reeds (śarastambe) sprung two children, whom a soldier found and brought to king Śāntanu. Śāntanu, from pity (kṛpā, v. 5089), brought them up as his own children, whence he called them Kṛpa and Kṛpī. Ś. by his tapas learnt what had happened and came to Śāntanu and told him his lineage, etc. He then instructed Kṛpa in the fourfold Dhanurveda and various śāstras, and in a short time Kṛpa became an eminent teacher, who instructed the Dhārtarāshṭras, Pāṇḍavas, Yādavas, Vṛshṇis, and other princes from various countries in the Dhanurveda: I, 130, 5072 (Gautamaḥ), 5077, 5083 (Gautamasya).--§ 572 (Rathātirathas.): V, 166, 5768 (Gautamasya maharsher ya ācāryasya Śºaḥ śarastambāt suto 'bhavat, i.e. Kṛpa). Cf. Gautama.
