Commander Selvam Siddhar
Jamadagni was a descendent of Sage Bhrigu. His wife was Renuka. His sons
are Sushena,Vasu, Viashvavasu and Parashurama. Jamadagni engaged deeply in
study and obtained the entire posession of the Vedas.Jamadagni’s mother,
Satyavati, was daughter of King Gadhi, a Kshatriya. The Vishnu Purana relates
that when Satyavati was pregnant, her Brahman husband, Richika, prepared a
concoction for her to eat for the purpose of securing that her son should be
born with the qualities of a Brahman. He also gave another concoction to her mother
that she might bear a son with the character of a warrior. The women changed
the messes, and so Jamadagni, the son of Richika, was born as a
warrior-Brahman, and Vishvamitra, son of the Kshatriya Gadhi, was born as a
priest.
