Kashyapa (Sanskrit: कश्यप, IAST: Kaśyapa) is a revered Vedic sage of Hinduism.[1] He is one of the Saptarishis, the seven ancient sages of the Rigveda. Kashyapa is the most ancient and venerated rishi, along with the other Saptarishis, listed in the colophon verse in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.[2]
Kashyapa is an ancient name, referring to many different personalities in the ancient Hindu and Buddhist texts.[3][4] The region of Kashmir in India is derived from him,[note 1] as well as numerous other Sanskrit texts and Indian scriptures.[7][8]
