Bhargava

Bhargava (Sanskrit: भार्गव, romanized: Bhārgava) or Bhṛguvamsha refers to a Brahmin race or dynasty that is said to have been founded by the legendary Hindu sage Bhrigu.

They are regarded to be associated with the Angiras, the Atharvans, and the Ribhus, races named for their founders, who were also great sages.

When his resurrected father is killed once more by the king's son, he begins a quest to wipe out all the Kshatriya rulers he could find on earth, and bequeaths the colonised land to the Saptarishi.

[4] In later legends, the Bhargavas were associated with the Haihayas,[5] the Anarta of Gujarat, Kanyakubja of Madhyadesa, as well as the rulers of Malabar.

Today, Bhargava also refers to a Brahmin community in India, who claim descent from the sage Bhrigu.
