It is stated in Mahabharata, Sabha Parva, Chapter 7, Stanza 12 that this hermit Uddalaka was a prominent figure in the दरबार || durbar (court) of Indra. Uddalaka had a son called Shvetaketu and a daughter called Sujata. He gave his daughter Sujata in marriage to his favourite disciple कहॊदक || Kahodaka. The hermit अष्टावक्रः || Ashtavakra was their son. (Mahabharata, Vana Parva, Chapter 132). Once Uddalaka caused the river Sarasvati to appear at the place of yajna. From that day onwards Sarasvati got the name 'Manorama' because when the thought came to his मनस् || manas (mind), the river made its appearance. (Mahabharata, Shalya Parva, Chapter 33). It is mentioned in Mahabharata, Shanti Parva, Chapter 57, Stanza 10, that Uddalaka expelled his son Shvetaketu from the house because the son was a hater of Brahmanas.<ref name=":1" />
