Hindoo religious books mention lots of information about people scattered throughout. Some related information about names has been condensed here for ease. Names are arranged in alphabetical order. These names may appear anywhere in any religious book. The list consists of normally - names, parentage, wife, children, maybe brothers and sisters, and any other important worth to know information about the person. Wherever the information is certain it is given there, especially about wife and children; but wherever it is not certain "nnn" is written there.

All this information has been condensed from -
Mahaabhaarat (has been written as "MBH" only),
Puraan,
Raam Charit Maanas (written as "Maanas"),
Vaalmeeki Raamaayan (Written as "Raamaayan"),
Aangiras' The Aangirasa Dictionary of the Hindoo Religion and Culture" (written as "Aangiras")

etc books. One may find some contradictory information at some places because of collecting it from different sources. Wherever it is possible the source is given, but sometimes it is not possible, because these are not review articles and it is not possible to give all references for all tiny bits of information. I apologize for that.

Some names do not appear in religious books, those names have been given on "OTHERS" page.
