The Lunar Dynasty
Brahma had produced seven sons using his mental powers. These were great sages. Atri was one of them. He married Anasuya, who conceived a son named Som. Som means moon in Hindi and the lunar dynasty is named after this son of sage Atri. Pururava was the founder of this dynasty. The heroes of the Mahabharata war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas were also from this lineage.
