Fore-fathers of Shandilya lineage---

Kashyap was the son of Marichi, one of the ten mentally generated sons (Maanasa-putras) of Creator Brahma. The Prajapati Daksha gave his thirteen daughters (Aditi, Diti, Kadru, Danu, etc.) in marriage to Kashyapa. In the family line of Kashyapa, along with him there are two more discoverers of Mantras, namely, his sons Avatsara and Asita. Two sons of Avatsara, namely, Nidhruva and Rebha, are also Mantra-seers. Asita had a son named Shandila, from whom the famous Shandilya family line started. One of the names which desends from the bloodline Shandilya is Chakravarty.
