In the Puranas we see a reference of another rshi with the name Dhaumya. In Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva <blockquote>व्याघ्रपाद इति ख्यातो वेदवेदाङ्गपारगः। तस्याहमभवं पुत्रो धौम्यश्चापि ममानुजः॥ (Maha. Anush. Parva. 14.112)</blockquote>Upamanyu mentions that his father was Vyaghrapada, who was a great seer well versed in vedas and vedangas during the Krtayuga, and that Dhaumya was his younger brother.<ref name=":0">Shastri.

In the Krtayuga, there lived a hermit named Vyaghrapada who had two sons. They were called Upamanyu and Dhaumya (different from Ayodhadhaumya). Some learned men are of opinion that Upamanyu the son of Vyaghrapada and Upamanyu the disciple of Ayodhadhaumya, were one and the same. (Page 808 of<ref name=":1" />).

Once Upamanyu visited another hermitage along with his father. He happened to drink the milk of the cow there. After that they returned to their own hermitage, Upamanyu went to his mother and asked her to make rice pudding with milk for him. <blockquote>क्षीरोदनसमायुक्तं भोजनं हि प्रयच्छ मे॥ 13-14-114 (Maha. Anush. Parva. 14.114)</blockquote>But the mother felt very sorry because there was no milk. At last she mixed flour in water and made pudding and gave it to him. Upamanyu did not accept it. His mother told him that there was no way to get milk and that men could get wealth, crops etc. only by the grace of Siva. Upamanyu who was of a wilful nature performed severe tapas, first 100 divya years he lived on eating fruits, the next by eating dry leaves that have fallen on the ground, the third hundred just by drinking water. The next seven hundred years he performed tapas by living on air. Finally Siva appeared before him in the shape of Indra and told him to ask for his boon. <blockquote>शक्ररूपं स कृत्वा तु सर्वैर्देवगणैर्वृतः। सहस्राक्षस्तदा भूत्वा वज्रपाणिर्महायशाः॥ (Maha. Anush. Parva. 14.171)</blockquote>Upamanyu boldly replied that he wanted no boon from anybody else except Siva. Siva made his appearance in his own form and bestowed all his blessing on him. Upamanyu thus told his story to Sri Krsna. (M.B. Anusasana Parva, Chapter 14).<ref name=":0" />
