ZATAYUPA (SATAYUPA) THE ANCIENT SAGE

 



Zatayupa was an ancient sage and a king of the Kekaya kingdom. He gave up his throne to his son and went to the Kurukshetra forest to meditate. There, he met Dhritarashtra and others and spoke to them about the rules of living in the forest.

He guided them on how to follow a simple and disciplined life. His wisdom was respected, and he played an important role in advising those who had renounced worldly life.

His grandfather was Sahasracitya. His story is mentioned in the Asramavasika Parva (Chapters 19-20) of the Mahabharata.
