Historical Reference (Purana)He was the medium through which some of the Puranas were communicated to the mankind.{{According to whom|date=January 2016}} He received the Vishnu Purana from Brahma and communicated it to Parashara, who made it known to mankind. He was father of Vishrava Muni who was the father of Kubera and Ravana, and all the Yaksahas are supposed to have sprung from him. Pulatsya was married to one of Rishi Kardam's nine daughters named Havirbhoo. Pulatsya Rishi had son Vishrava who in turn had two wives: one was Kaikesi who gave birth to Ravana, Shurpanakha, Kumbhakarna, and Vibhishana; and another was Ilavida and had a son named Kubera. ArchaeologyCertain sources claim that the famous granite statue of a king in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, which was first thought to be of King Parakramabahu the Great, might actually be the Pulatsya Rishi. This idea was later proven to be false by Prof. Senarath Paranawithana. Apart from this, no other statues, carvings, paintings or friezes of Pulatsya Rishi have been found on the island.(Sri Lanka) References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.manuscrypts.com/myth/2011/08/25/kuber/|title=History of Kubera|publisher=Manuscrypts|accessdate=25 August 2011}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m02/m02011.htm|title=The Mahabharata|author=Kisari Mohan Ganguli (1883 - 1896)|publisher=Sacred texts}} 3. ^Inhabitants of the Worlds Mahanirvana Tantra, translated by Arthur Avalon, (Sir John Woodroffe), 1913, Introduction and Preface. The Rishi are seers who know, and by their knowledge are the makers of shastra and "see" all mantras. The word comes from the root rish Rishati-prapnoti sarvvang mantrang jnanena pashyati sangsaraparangva, etc. The seven great Rishi or saptarshi of the first manvantara are Marichi, Atri, Angira, Pulaha, Kratu, Pulatsya, and Vashishtha. In other manvantara there are other saptarishi. In the present manvantara the seven are Kashyapa, Atri, Vashishtha, Vishvamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Bharadvaja. To the Rishi the Vedas were revealed. Vyasa taught the Rigveda so revealed to Paila, the Yajurveda to Vaishampayana, the Samaveda to Jaimini, Atharvaveda to Samantu, and Itihasa and Purana to Suta. The three chief classes of rishi are the Brahmarshi, born of the mind of Brahma, the Devarshi of lower rank, and Rajarshi or Kings who became rishi through their knowledge and austerities, such as Janaka, Ritaparna, etc. Thc Shrutarshi are makers of Shastras, as Sushruta. The Kandarshi are of the Karmakanda, such as Jaimini.
