सनत्कुमार
Sanatkumara is the sage, one of the Kumaras, who in the lineage of the Bhagavata received the teaching from Sankarshana. At SB 3.8.7 Maitreya says: 'proktaM kilaitad bhagavat-tamena nivR^itti-dharmAbhiratAya tena / sanatkumArAya sa Aha pR^iShTaH sA~NkhyAyanAyA~Nga dhR^ita-vratAya' — the most excellent of the Lord's own told this to Sanatkumara, who delights in the dharma of withdrawal, and on being asked Sanatkumara told it on to Sankhyayana, who had taken vows. He belongs to the company of the Kumaras, but this verse names him individually, which is why he is held as an entity distinct from the group.
