  Jamadagni
The women changed the messes, and so Jamadagni, the son of Richika, was born as a warrior-Brahman, and Vishvamitra, son of the Kshatriya Gadhi, was born as a priest.
The Mahabharata relates that Jamadagni engaged deeply in study and “obtained entire possession of the Vedas.” He went to King Renu or Prasenajit of the Solar race and demanded of him his daughter Renuka.
The sons of Kartavirya went in revenge to the hermitage of Jamadagni, and in the absence of Parasurama slew the pious sage without pity.
