Yāyāvara  : m. (pl.): Name of a group (gaṇa) of ṛṣis.


A. Qualities: Of strict vows (saṁśitavrata) 1. 13. 14; 1. 41. 16; they practised severe austerities and were expert knowers of dharma for they were the direct seers of dharma, hence characterized as ṛṣis (…pratyaksadharmāṇas tathā yāyāvarā gaṇāḥ/ṛṣīṇām ugratapasām dharmanaipuṇadarśinām//) 12. 236 19 (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 12. 244. 19: pratyakṣaḥ dharmo dharmaphalaṁ satyasaṅkalpatvādikaṁ yeṣāṁ te pratyakṣadharmāṇaḥ).


B. Their history:

(1) Yāyāvaras were the forefathers of Jaratkāru; he once saw them hanging with their heads down and holding on to a bunch of grass; a mouse residing in a hole was slowly eating up that bunch of grass; Jaratkāru addressed them; he pitied their plight for they were without food, were lean, pitiable, afflicted and waiting for help; he showed his readiness to help them by offering them the fourth, the third, the half, of his austerities, or even all of them; Yāyāvaras told him that they were falling down in the impure hell because of the noncontinuation of their line (saṁtānaprakṣaya); his austerities would not help them; they told him they were sages known as Yāyāvaras, they had fallen down from the holy world due to the discontinuation of their line (saṁtānaprakṣaya); their austerities had come to an end; there was no one to continue their line; the only one, named Jaratkāru, was as good as nothing for this purpose; he was versed in the Vedas but had not married and had no progeny; hence they were hanging head down in the ditch; if ever the person to whom they were addressing met Jaratkāru he should tell him their plight, ask him to marry and beget progeny; the bunch of grass to which they were clinging was their only support; if they fell down along with their ancestors, Jaratkāru too would fall down into the hell; neither austerities, nor sacrifices, nor any thing else was equal to a child 1. 41. 3-30; 1. 13. 10-30; Jaratkāru then disclosed his identity to Yāyāvaras and asked them to punish him; they told him that fortunately he had come there and asked him the reason of his not marrying; Jaratkāru told them that by observing celibacy he wanted to take his body to the next world (ūrdhvaretāḥ śarīraṁ vai prāpayeyam amutra vai); however now that he had seen their plight he had decided to marry provided he found a maiden having his name and also if he was not required to support her (sanāmnīṁ yady ahaṁ kanyām upalapsye kadācana…na bhareyaṁ ca yām aham); Jaratkāru did not get a maiden since he was old; dejected he went to the forest and addressed all beings, moving and not moving, and even those concealed, telling them that Yāyāvaras had asked him to marry and so he requested them to give him a maiden who bore his name and whom he was not required to support 1. 42. 1-15; when Jaratkāru's conditions were fulfilled, he married; when Āstīka was born, he saved Yāyāvaras and took off great burden of his ancestors; Jaratkāru went to heaven, along with his ancestors (pitṝṁś ca tārayām āsa saṁtatyā tapasā tathā/…apahṛtya guruṁ bhāram pitṝṇāṁ…/jaratkārur gataḥ svargaṁ sahitaḥ svaiḥ pitāmahaiḥ//) 1. 13. 41-46;

(2) Yāyāvaras mentioned among those who, after retiring to forest (during the vānaprasthāśrama 12. 236. 4-5), went to heaven 12. 236. 18-19.


C. Certain persons referred to in relation to Yāyāvaras;

(1) Born in the family of Yāyāvaras; Āstīka (yāyāvarakulotpanna) 15. 43. 10; Jaratkāru (yāyāvarakule…bhaviṣyati) 1. 34. 12;

(2) Prominent among Yāyāvaras: Jaratkāru (yāyāvarāṇāṁ…pravaraḥ) 1. 13. 10.
