पुराणम्
Englishकण्व १ / KAṆVA I. (kāśyapa).1) General information. kaṇva attained Purāṇic fame as the father who brought up śakuntalā. From ṛgveda it can be gathered that the kaṇva family was very prominent among the ṛṣi families of ancient india. Because he was born in the family of sage kaśyapa, son of brahmā, kaṇva was known as kāśyapa also. Kaṇva's father was medhātithi as could be seen by a reference to him in Śloka 27, Chapter 208 of śānti Parva as Medhātithisuta. kaṇva was staying in a hermitage on the banks of the river mālinī, with a number of disciples.2) Kaṇvāśrama. Vana Parva of mahābhārata states that Kaṇvāśrama was on the northern shore of the river praveṇī. According to certain critics Kaṇvāśrama was situated on the banks of the river Cambal, four miles to the south of ‘Kota’in Rājputānā.3) How kaṇva got śakuntalā. Once viśvāmitra started a severe penance and indra desiring to obstruct the attempt sent the enchanting menakā to entice him. They fell in love with each other and soon menakā bore a girl. The parents left the child in the forest and went their way. Birds (Śakuntas) looked after her for some time and so she was named śakuntalā. Accidentally kaṇva came that way and took the child to his āśrama.4) The Yāga of bharata. bharata, son of duṣyanta, performed a peculiar type of Yāga called ‘Govitata’ with kaṇva as the chief preceptor to officiate. (Śloka 130, Chapter 74, Ādi Parva).5) kaṇva and duryodhana. Once kaṇva narrated to duryodhana how mātali and his wife sudharmā went to him in search of a suitable husband to their daughter guṇakeśī. (Chapter 97, Udyoga Parva, M.B.).6) kaṇva, a sage of the east. When śrī rāma returned to ayodhyā after his exile many sages from many different parts came to visit him. kaṇva was one of those who came from the east. The others who came along with him were, vasiṣṭha, atri, viśvāmitra, gautama, jamadagni, bharadvāja, Sanaka, śarabhaṅga durvāsas, mataṅga, vibhāṇḍaka and tumburu.7) kaṇva and ṛgveda. (i) There are ten Maṇḍalas in ṛgveda. The Maṇḍalas from two to seven are written by different ṛṣi families. The second Maṇḍala was written by the bhārgava family of ṛṣis, the third by the viśvāmitra family, the fourth by that of vāmadeva, the fifth by atri, the sixth by that of bharadvāja and the seventh by the family of vasiṣṭha. Fifty Sūktas of the first Maṇḍala and the whole of the eighth Maṇḍala were written by kaṇva.(ii) kaṇva had a son named medhātithi. Sūkta twelve of Anuvāka four in the first Maṇḍala of ṛgveda is written making medhātithi a sage.(iii) kaṇva had a daughter named Indīvaraprabhā by menakā. (kathāsaritsāgara). (See under candrāvaloka and Kasyapa I).
कण्व २ / KAṆVA II. A King of Pūruvaṁśa. (pūru dynasty). He was the son of the brother of santurodha, father of duṣyanta. His father was Prītiratha and he also had a son named medhātithi. (agni purāṇa).
Vedic Reference
EnglishKaṇva is the name of an ancient Ṛṣi repeatedly referred to
in the Rigveda and later.^1 His sons and descendants, ^2 the
Kaṇvas, are also often mentioned, especially in the eighth
book of the Rigveda, the authorship of that book, as well as of
part of the first, being attributed to this family. A descendant
of Kaṇva is also denoted by the name in the singular, either
alone^3 or accompanied by a patronymic, as Kaṇva Nārṣada^4
and Kaṇva Śrāyasa, ^5 besides in the plural the Kaṇvas Sauśra-
vasas.^6 The Kaṇva family appears to have been connected with
the Atri family, ^7 but not to have been of great importance.^8 In
one passage of the Atharvaveda^9 they seem to be definitely
regarded with hostility.
