Trita.  One of the three sons of Prajāpati Gautama. He was the third son, and his other two brothers were known as  Ekat  and  Dvita . All the brothers were great sages and strict followers of the principles of religion. By dint of severe penances they were promoted to Brahmaloka (the planet where Brahmājī lives). Once Trita Muni fell in a well. He was an organizing worker of many sacrifices, and as one of the great sages he also came to show respect to Bhīṣmajī at his deathbed. He was one of the seven sages in the Varuṇaloka. He hailed from the Western countries of the world. As such, most probably he belonged to the European countries. At that time the whole world was under one Vedic culture.
Gṛtsamada.  One of the sages of the heavenly kingdom. He was a close friend of Indra the King of heaven and was as great as Bṛhaspati. He used to visit the royal assembly of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, and he also visited the place where Bhīṣmadeva breathed his last. Sometimes he explained the glories of Lord Śiva before Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira. He was the son of  Vitahavya , and he resembled in features the body of Indra. Sometimes the enemies of Indra mistook him to be Indra and arrested him. He was a great scholar of the  Ṛg-veda , and thus he was highly respected by the  brāhmaṇa  community. He lived a life of celibacy and was powerful in every respect.
Asita.  There was a king of the same name, but herein the Asita mentioned is the Asita Devala  Ṛṣi , a great powerful sage of the time. He explained to his father 1,500,000 verses from the  Mahābhārata . He was one of the members in the snake sacrifice of Mahārāja Janamcjaya. He was also present during the coronation ceremony of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira along with other great  ṛṣis . He also gave Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira instructions while he was on the Añjana Hill. He was also one of the devotees of Lord Śiva.
Kakṣīvān.  One of the sons of Gautama Muni and the father of the great sage Candakausika. He was one of the members of Parliament of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira.
Atri.  Atri Muni was a great  brāhmaṇa  sage and was one of the mental sons of Brahmājī. Brahmājī is so powerful that simply by thinking of a son he can have it. These sons are known as  mānasa-putras . Out of seven  mānasa-putras  of Brahmājī and out of the seven great  brāhmaṇa  sages, Atri was one. In his family the great Pracetas were also born. Atri Muni had two  kṣatriya  sons who became kings. King Arthama is one of them. He is counted as one of the twenty-one Prajāpatis. His wife's name was Anasūyā, and he helped Mahārāja Parīkṣit in his great sacrifices.
