Anādhṛṣṭi (Anadhrishti) was one of the sons of Bṛddhakṣatra (Briddhakshatra). He defeated the Kaliṅga (Kalinga) warriors, abducted a girl of that country and married her. He seems to have fought for the Pāṇḍavas (Pandava) in the battle of Kurukṣetra (Kurukshetra), for we find Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Dhritarashtra) asking Sañjaya (Sanjaya) who lured bārdhakṣemi (bardhakshemi; son of Bṛddhakṣatra) Anādhṛṣṭi away when he was battling Droṇa (Drona) fiercely.
