Kakshivan

The son of Gautama. When Gautama was living in Girivraja, he had a relationship with a shudra woman and to them was born Kakshivan as per Mahabharata Sabhaparva Chapter 21 verse 3. This is not the same Gautama as Ahalya’s husband. It is argued that Kakshivan was the son of Gautama’s father Deerkhatamas. Kakshivan had 2 daughters – Bhadra and Ghosha and a son named Chandakaushika. He was present at Yudhishtira’s court as per Mahabharata Sabhaparva Chapter 4 verse 17.
