The '''Kumaras''' are the four rishis, who are eternally in the form of children, named as Sanaka, Sanatana, Sanandana and Sanatkumara. Many upanishads and puranas give a detailed account of the legends around these four rishis. The group is known by various names: "Kumaras" (the boys/male children/young boys), "Chatursana" or "Chatuh sana" (the four with names starting with Sana) and "Sanakadi" (Sanaka and the others).<sup>[6]</sup> Individual names usually include Sanaka (ancient), Sanatana (eternal), Sanandana (joyful) and Sanatkumara (Ever Young). Sometimes, Sanatana is replaced by Sanatsujata.

They are described as the first mind-born creations and sons of the creator-god Brahma. Born from Brahma's mind, the four Kumaras undertook lifelong vows of celibacy (brahmacharya) against the wishes of their father. They are said to wander throughout the materialistic and spiritualistic universe without any desire but with purpose to teach. All four brothers are enlightened with Vedic knowledge and always travel together.
