 I am thankful to Sri Sri Pundit Ram Sivan of Australia Sri Ramanuja Matham for compiling the above list alphabetically and including the missing names. His commendable work on Rishis names and finding them from the different Vedic Scripts from different source of books are really a treasure to preserve.
