  Name of a celebrated Ṛiṣi. [He was a descendant of Bhṛigu, (the son of Chyavana by his wife Āruṣī, and grandson of Bhṛigu). The Mahābhārata relates that the sons of Kārtavīrya, with the desire of destroying the descendants of Bhṛigu, killed even the children in the womb. One of the women of the family, in order to preserve her embryo, secreted it in her thigh (ūru), whence the child at its birth was called Aurva. Beholding him, the sons of Kārtavirya were struck with blindness, and his wrath gave rise to a flame which threatened to consume the whole world, had he not, at the desire of his Pitṛis, the Bhārgavas, cast it into the ocean, where it remained concealed with the face of a horse; Compare Vaḍavāgni. Aurva was afterwards preceptor to king Sagara of Ayodhyā]. ऊरोर्यथौर्वस्य पृथोश्च हस्तान् मान्धातुरिन्द्रप्रतिमस्य मूर्ध्नः Bu. ch. 1.29.
