Ślishṭi

Śambhu has other meanings too: see all meanings of Śambhu. Bhavya has other meanings too: see all meanings of Bhavya. Vīra has other meanings too: see all meanings of Vīra.

Ślishṭi is a son of Dhruva, the steadfast son of Uttānapāda, born of Dhruva’s wife Śambhu. By his wife Succhāyā he had five sons, and through the eldest, Ripu, his line led to Cākshusha Manu.

In the line of Dhruva

Lomaharshaṇa, telling the munis the line of Uttānapāda, says that Dhruva performed tapas for three thousand divine years and that Brahmā gave him a place that shines unmoving in front of the saptarshis. From Dhruva, Śambhu bore two sons, Ślishṭi and Bhavya. From Ślishṭi, Succhāyā bore five sons: Ripu, Ripuñjaya, Vīra, Vṛkala and Vṛkatejas. From Ripu, Bṛhatī bore Cakshus, full of every tejas (radiance), and Cakshus begot Cākshusha Manu in Vairaṇī, daughter of Prajāpati Vīraṇa.
