::''For the Indian dynasty, see Kanva dynasty'' Kanva (Sanskrit: कण्व ') was an ancient Hindu rishi, to whom some of the hymns of the ''Rig Veda'' are ascribed. He was called a son of Ghora and one of the Angirasas. He is sometimes included in the list of the seven sages (the Saptarishis). * Kanva is also the name of a founder of a Vedic shakha, * Kanva is also the name of several princes and founders of dynasties and several authors. * The Kanvas are the descendants of king Vasudeva Kanva (1st century BCE). * The Kanvas are also a class of evil spirits, against whom hymn 2.25 of the ''Atharva Veda'' is used as a charm. ==References== * Dowson, John: ''A Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology & Religion''. es:Kaṇva hi:कण्व ru:Канва 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kanwa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
