Bhavya is a son of Dhruva and his wife Śambhu, and the brother of Ślishṭi, in the line of Svāyambhuva Manu.

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that Dhruva, wishing for great fame, performed tapas for three thousand divine years. Brahmā, pleased with him, gave him a place equal to his own, which shines unmoving in front of the saptarshis. From Dhruva, Śambhu bore two sons, Ślishṭi and Bhavya. The line went on through Ślishṭi, to whom Succhāyā bore five sons: Ripu, Ripuñjaya, Vīra, Vṛkala and Vṛkatejas.
