Maharishi Pramati
Other names: Rishi Pramati. Son of Chyavana and Sukanya in the Bhrigu line. Through the apsara Ghritachi he became the father of Ruru, continuing the lineage that leads to Sunaka/Shaunaka.
“Sauti said, ‘O Brahmana, Chyavana, the son of Bhrigu, begot a son in the womb of his wife Sukanya. And that son was the illustrious Pramati of resplendent energy. And Pramati begot in the womb of Ghritachi a son called Ruru. And Ruru begot on his wife Pramadvara a son called Sunaka. And I shall relate to you in detail, O Brahmana, the entire history of Ruru of abundant energy. O listen to it then in full!” – The Mahabharata, Book 1: Adi Parva: Pauloma Parva: Section VIII
