DHARMAVARṆA : A Brahmin who lived in the country of Ānarta at the end of Kaliyuga. Once when he went to the land of the dead, he saw his fathers hanging by the end of darbha. They requested Dharmavarṇa to marry and obtain sons who would get them relief from their plight. Dharmavarṇa married and as soon as he got a son he went to the forest of Gandhamādana to practise penance there. (Chapters 2, 17 and 22, Skanda Purāṇa).
