Aṇīmāṇḍavya (a ṛṣi, cf. Māṇḍavya). § 11 (Parvas.):

I, 2, 375 (Dharmasya nṛṣu saṃbhūtir Aṇīmāṇḍavya-śāpajā).

—§ 80: I, 63, the ṛṣi Aṇīmāṇḍavya having been accused

of theft, though innocent, and impaled, as a punishment for

having in his childhood pierced a little fowl in a reed, cursed

Dharma (for having killed a brahman, the most heinous of

sins), saying that he should be born on earth in the Śūdra

caste. Therefore Dharma was born as Vidura: I, 63, 2422.

—§ 172 (Aṇīmāṇḍavyopākhyāna): I, 108, 4329 (4333).—

§ 264 (Sabhākriyāp.): II, 4α, 107 (among the ṛṣis who

were present when Yudhiṣṭhira entered the palace).
