description: "Gritsamada, was a Rigvedic sage. Most of Mandala 2 of the Rigveda is attributed to him. He was the son of Śunahotra Āṅgirasa and the adopted son of Śunaka Bhārgava. According to Witzel, Somāhuti Bhārgava is a descendant of Gritsamada, because Somāhuti states that he is one among the Gritsamadas. However according to Jamison and Brereton he belongs to the Bhṛgu lineage of Gṛtsamada's adopted father Śunaka. The signature line of the Gritsamadas in the Rigveda was बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः lit. 'May we speak loftily at the ritual distribution, in possession of good heroes.' Gritsamada was known for connecting the deeds of Indra to the actions of the ritual."
