In the Sabhāparva( Savaparva) of Mahābhārata (Mahabharata), when Yudhiṣthira(Yudhishira) entered the assembly hall built by the dānava (danava; a species of demons) Maya, at Indraprastha, we get to know the name of Ākṛiti (Akriti), as one of the kings. It is notable that Akṛti (Akriti), the brother of Bhiṣmaka (Bhishmaka), king of Vidarva, is also sometimes mentioned as Ākṛti (Akriti). The Ākṛti (Akriti) present in Yudhiṣthira’s assembly hall may be the same person.
