1) հᲹṭa (त्रिजट).�(GĀRGYA). A sage. Though he was a sage he lived by farming. He had a wife and children and his earnings from farm work were insufficient to make both ends meet. They were living in poverty and it was at that time that Rma started for his life in exile in the forests. Before he commenced his journey to the forests he gave immense wealth to all the Brahmins who had assembled around him. At that time հᲹṭa never knew about it and when it came to the ears of հᲹṭa’s wife she ran to the fields and persuaded հᲹṭa to go and see Śrī Rma. When հᲹṭa came to the scene, Rma had almost finished his distribution, but հᲹṭa took courage and pushing forward through the crowd approached Rma and said "Oh, famous King, I am a poor man with many children. Give something for this poor man who lives by farming."

Hearing this, Śrī Rma giving him a small stick asked him to throw the stick into the midst of the cattle grazing nearby. The Brahmin tightening his clothes and getting ready threw the stick with all his might to the south. The stick fell beyond a lakh of cattle grazing there. Śrī Rma gave him all the cattle which stood inside the area covered by the stick. (Chapter 32, Ayodhy Kṇḍa Vlmīki Rmyaṇa).

հᲹṭa was the son of Viśvmitra. (Śloka 55, Chapter 4, Anuśsana Parva).

Waiting for them, Sīt, with all the decorations of a splendid princess, dressed in white, was standing on the peak of a mountain, whereas Rvaṇa with shaven head was dressed all in black.
