Ś첹ⲹ (शाकल्य).—A maharṣi in the lineage of gurus (preceptors). (See under Guruparamparā). He systematised the Vedaṃhs. It was Bādarāyaṇakṛṣṇa, who became later famous as Vedavyāsa, who first arranged in systematic order the Vedaṃhs. Prominent scholars hold the view that Vyāsa lived between 13001500 B.C. The ṃh text now popular systematised by Ś첹ⲹ is called Ś첹ⲹ śākhā (Ś첹ⲹ branch). Ś첹ⲹ is reported to have saved Kaśyapa maharṣi once. When king Parīkṣit was cursed that he would die by Takṣaka’s poison Kaśyapa started for his court to save the king from the calamity. But, Takṣaka met him on the way and sent him back laden with presents of gems, ornaments etc. People derided Kaśyapa, who on account of covetousness, retreated from the duty of saving the king’s life and non-cooperated with him in every way. In this contingency Kaśyapa sought the help of Ś첹ⲹ, who advised the former to bathe in the sacred tīrthas in the rivers Godāvarī and Sarasvatī. Kaśyapa did so and regained his old reputation.
