✦ Saptarishi
The Seven Saptarishis
The seven primordial seers who anchor the Vedic transmission.
Vasishtha
Alkaid (also identified with Kratu in some traditions, Vasishtha is Zeta Ursae Majoris/Mizar)
2Vishvamitra
Alioth (also associated with the Ursa Major star grouping, though Vishvamitra is sometimes placed among the additional sages honored alongside the seven)
3Kashyapa
Pulaha's position is sometimes conflated, but Kashyapa is traditionally honored as progenitor rather than assigned a single Ursa Major star; associated broadly with Crux/Marichi lineage stars
4Atri
Mizar (Vasishtha's star pairing is sometimes attributed here in alternate lists; Atri is traditionally the star Pulastya adjoins, though most commonly Atri corresponds to Alcor/Mizar region confusion across texts)
5Bharadvaja
Megrez (associated within the Ursa Major grouping according to certain regional astronomical traditions)
6Gautama
Phecda (associated within certain regional Ursa Major star identification traditions)
7Jamadagni
Dubhe (associated within the Ursa Major grouping in certain regional Vedic astronomical traditions)
