Kanva (Sanskrit: कण्व káṇva) was an ancient Hindu rishi, to whom some of the hymns of the Rig Veda are ascribed. He was called a son of Ghora and one of the Angirasas. He is sometimes included in the list of the seven sages (the Saptarishis). * Kanva is also the name of a founder of a Vedic shakha, * Kanva is also the name of several princes and founders of dynasties and several authors. * The Kanvas are the descendants of king Vasudeva Kanva (1st century BCE). * The Kanvas are also a class of evil spirits, against whom hymn 2.25 of the Atharva Veda is used as a charm.
