पुराणम्
English
शाकल्य / ŚĀKALYA. A maharṣi in the lineage of gurus (preceptors). (See under guruparamparā). He systematised the Vedasaṁhitās. It was Bādarāyaṇakṛṣṇa, who became later famous as vedavyāsa, who first arranged in systematic order the Vedasaṁhitās. Prominent scholars hold the view that vyāsa lived between 13001500 B.C. The saṁhitā text now popular systematised by śākalya is called śākalya śākhā (śākalya branch). śākalya is reported to have saved kaśyapa maharṣi once. When king parīkṣit was cursed that he would die by Takṣaka's poison kaśyapa started for his court to save the king from the calamity. But, takṣaka met him on the way and sent him back laden with presents of gems, ornaments etc. People derided kaśyapa, who on account of covetousness, retreated from the duty of saving the king's life and non-cooperated with him in every way. In this contingency kaśyapa sought the help of śākalya, who advised the former to bathe in the sacred tīrthas in the rivers godāvarī and sarasvatī. kaśyapa did so and regained his old reputation.
Vedic Reference
English
Śākalya, ‘descendant of Śakala, ’ is the patronymic of
Vidagdha in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, ^1 and of Sthavira in the
Aitareya^2 and Śāṅkhāyana Āraṇyakas.^3 An undefined Śākalya
is mentioned in the same Āraṇyakas, ^4 in the Nirukta, ^5 and often
later, as a teacher dealing with the text of the Rigveda.
Weber^6 is inclined to identify Vidagdha with the Śākalya who
is known as the maker of the Pada Pāṭha of the Rigveda, but
Oldenberg^7 thinks that the latter was later than the Brāhmaṇa
period. Geldner^8 identifies the two
this view, however, is
not very probable.^9
