Kashyapa (Sanskrit ''Kaśyapa'') was an ancient sage (rishi) who is counted as one of the Saptarishis in the present ''manvantara'' (the others are Atri, Vashistha, Vishvamitra, Jamadagni, Bharadwaja and Gautama Maharishi). Kashyapa is the claimed author of the treatise ''Kashyapa Samhita'', or ''Jivakiya Tantra'', which is considered a classical reference book on Ayurveda especially in the fields of Ayurvedic pediatrics, gynecology and obstetrics.〔(Q7 ) indianmedicine.nic.in. Q 7. The main classical texts for reference of Ayurvedic principles include Charak Samhita, Susrut Samhita, Astang Hridaya, Sharangdhar Samhita, Madhav Nidan, Kashyapa Samhita, Bhavprakash, and Bhaisajya Ratnavali, etc.〕 ==Wives of Kashyapa== The Prajapati Daksha gave his thirteen daughters (Aditi, Diti, Kadru, Danu, Arishta, Surasa, Surabhi, Vinata, Tamra, Krodhavasha, Idā, Vishva and Muni)〔(Vishnu Purana: Book I, Chapter XV ) The Vishnu Purana, translated by Horace Hayman Wilson, 1840. p. 112.
