Kashyapa said I always protect my body, and on account of my penances I have become gifted with effulgence. For thus protecting the body and for this effulgence that is due to my penances, I pass by the name of Kashyapa.
कश्यप उवाच कुलं कुलं च कुवमः कुवमः कश्यपो द्विजः। काश्यः काशनिकाशत्वादेतन्मे नाम धारया।८६॥
