Brihaspati Jee

Brihaspati Jee is the son of Maharshi Angiraa and Kardam's one of the nine daughters Shraddhaa. Brihaspati Jee is the Guru of Devataa. 

Once he went to the court of Indra. There all Devtaa stood up and welcome him but Indra did not get up from His throne. So he went to his home. When he had left the court then Indra realized that He has committed a mistake, so He thought that He should ask for his pardon. Brihaspati Jee knew this so he disappeared from his house. Indra could not find him. Without Guru He did not feel secured so He had to request Vishwaroop to become their Guru. Although later He killed him too.

Brihaspati and Chandramaa

Brihaspati Jee's wife's name was Taaraa. Once Chandramaa got attracted to her and kidnapped her and He wouldn't return her to Brihaspati even after several requests. Chandramaa was mad about her. Chandramaa requested her to be his partner, but Taaraa said she already had Brihaspati Jee's child in her womb, but Chandramaa didn't listen to her and impregnated her with his own child and took her. Brihaspati Jee asked him to return his wife several times, but he wouldn't listen to. Taaraa was after Brihaspati Jee that he should bring up the child but Brihaspati Jee said, "He is not my child." 

 Now when the child was born it was very beautiful. Both Brihaspati Jee and Chandramaa started fighting over it that "This is mine, this is mine", Then Brahmaa Jee came for rescue. He asked Taaraa "Whose child it is"  Taaraa got embarrassed with this question, then the child in the womb spoke "Why don't you tell the truth?" Then somehow she told "It is Chandramaa's child". So Chandramaa took that shiny beautiful child. Brahmaa Jee named him "Budh" because his Buddhi was very sharp.
