Chyavana Maharshi was Shaunaka Maharshi's predecessor in Bhrigu Vamsha. Chyavana's grandson was Ruru. Shaunaka was Ruru's grandson.
Adhira was a king who became an evil spirit after his death. He had given death sentence to an innocent woman and destroyed a Shiva Temple. These were the offences because of which he had to become an evil spirit and suffer. He worshiped Lord Shiva and begged for his pardon. The Lord gave him relief and made him his own attendant. ( Padma Purana. Pathala Khanda. Chapter 111 )
