=== रोमशा ॥ Romasa ===
Romasa was one of the woman seers who was the mantra drashta of the Rig Veda rks. She was a Brahmavadini who underwent the upanayana or thread ceremony, Vedic study and Savitri Vachana (higher studies). She was the daughter of Brhaspati and dharmapatni of Bhavayavya. It is said that she used to discuss about that information which enhanced the intellect, hence was called Romasa. Vedas and their shakas themselves are the hairs on her body, and she used to spread that knowledge hence called Romasa (indicates that she was wellversed in the Vedas).<ref>Kalyan Magazine, Nari Anka - Brahmavadini Vak Ambhrini ([https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.427009/page/n413 Page No 358]) by Gita Press, Gorakhpur.</ref>
