Dear all

I just want one clarification. In the very first post, it was mentioned that gauthama gothra started from gowthama buddha. Is it correct? I think it originated from Gauthama maharishi (husband of ahalya devi). We never consider buddha as a sage in our smrithis and we are totally against him by philosophies na...

Pranams

you are right DD,
got this information from google....sunkan

1. Gouthama Gothra. Gautama Maharishi is one of the Saptarishis of the current Manvantara (seventh). He was one of the Maharishis of Vedic times, known to have been the discoverer of Mantras -- 'Mantra-drashtaa', in Sanskrit
The Rig Veda has several suktas that go with his name. He was the son of Rahugana, belonging to the line of Angiras. The Devi Bhagavatam says that the river Godavari is so named because of its association with Gautama. He had two sons by name Vamadeva and Nodhas, both themselves discoverers of Mantras
There is a hymn called Bhadra in the Sama Veda which again is ascribed to Gautama Maharishi. His wife is Ahalya,
The Puranas speak of the story wherein it is described how Gautama won the hand of Ahalya by perambulating the divine cow.
The Chief priest of King Janaka of Mithila, by name Shatananda, was the son of Gautama and Ahalya. Gautama's sixty-year long penance is mentioned in the Shanti parva of the Mahabharata
The Narada purana describes the story of the 12-year famine during which Gautama fed all the Rishis and saved them.
The Brahmaanda-purana mentions that this Gautama initiated one of the sub-branches of the Raanaayani branch of Sama Veda.
Some famous disciples of Gautama were Praachina-yogya, Shaandilya, Gaargya, and Bharadwaja.
According to the Ramayana, Rishi Gautama once went to take bath in the river Ganges early morning. The king of the devas, Indra, was fascinated with Gautam's wife, Ahalya. Indra came in the form of Gautam and made love to Ahalya ..
Gauatama was also the author of Dharma-sutra known as Gautama Dharma sutra [2] [3]. It is in fact the earliest Dharma Sutra
Sage Gautama was the most ancient sage of all Brahmin lawgivers. He was quoted by Baudhayana and belonged to Samaveda School. Gautama's teachings are called Gautamasutra or Gautamasmriti.
Gautamas Brahmins are originally settled in Brij region of North India
