Garga (sage)

[2] The epic-Puranic literature suggests that Garga was a distant descendant of Bharadvaja.

According to this tradition, Garga was a son of Bhumanyu and a great-grandson of Vidathin Bharadvaja (who was adopted by Bharata Daushyanti).

[2] According to the epic-Puranic literature, Garga had a son named Shini (IAST: Śini), who was also a sage.

This suggests that the descendants of Garga contributed to a number of fields including interpretation of the Vedas, etymology, grammar, astrology, dharmashastra, philosophy, and religion.

[3] These people include: The Atharvaveda Parisistha 8.15.2 describes the Gargas as Brahmins of Kshatriya ancestry.
