Historical references
Ashit, also known as Ashtavakra, was a sage and philosopher who is believed to have lived during the late Vedic period, around 600-500 BCE. He is best known for his teachings on the Upanishads, particularly the Chandogya Upanishad where he is depicted as a teacher to Janaka, the king of Videha. Ashtavakra's teachings emphasize the unity of all things and the importance of self-realization.

Ashit is also mentioned in the epic Mahabharata as the father of Amba, one of the five Pandava brothers' wives. Amba was in love with Bhima, but Bhima did not reciprocate her feelings. In her frustration, she cursed Bhima that he would marry her, but only after he had suffered great hardships. After Bhima's marriage to Draupadi, Amba was married to Bhima, fulfilling her curse. Bhima and Amba had no children together.
