The Saptarishis — Marichi, Atri, Angiras, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, and Vasishtha — are the seven mind-born sages of Brahma who preserve the Vedas and guide humanity through each cosmic age, their forms set among the stars as the constellation of the Great Bear.
⚠ Puranic lists of the Seven Sages vary: Vishnu Purana 1.7 gives Marichi, Atri, Angiras, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Vasishtha. Other recensions substitute Kashyapa or Bhrigu for one of the standard seven. The roster also changes across different Manvantaras.
