Brahmrishi Saubhari had five thousand children, they all are called as Adi Gaud Ahivasi Brahman.
1. Ahiwasi Brahman are dyansty of the Brahmarishi Saubhari ji . he had five thousand sons.
2.Saubhari Rishi was born in the Kanva Risi Dyansty.
3. Kanva a renown Rishi, Author of several hymns of Rigveda , He is called a son of Ghora Rishi.

How the Brahmrishi Saubhari lineage became established-
Saubhari Muni who had achieved siddhis through tapas (austerity) was once taking a dip in the Yamuna river for bath. At that time, he saw a big fish having sexual pleasure with its partner thereby getting extreme happiness. Seeing this, Saubhari got a desire to enjoy the same. Therefore he decided to marry some girl.
There was once a great sage named Saubhari Muni who used to do Sadhana in water in a
Jal Samadhi. He gained more Yogic powers and became extremely powerful with this difficult meditation.
However, once He saw two fish mating in water and having seen the kusang, his future plans changed. He planned to go back into the world and get married.
He came out of water and went to king Mandhata and said – O King! You have 50 daughters, give me any one in marriage.
The king thought – The sage is so old. How can I give any of my dear daughters to him? But if I do not, the sage can curse me. He has so many powers.
So the king said - O great sage! It is my great fortune that you have come to ask for the
hand of one of my daughters. But I do not know whom to marry you. So I shall hold a Swayamvar for all fifty of them. Whosoever likes you and garlands you shall be your wife.
Saubhari Muni read the king's mind. On the Swayamwar day, he changed himself to be an extremely handsome 16 year old prince with his Yogic powers.
All 50 daughters were mesmerized with his beauty and garlanded him. So he married all 50 of them and started a family. He had 5000 kids from his wives. As the family grew, so did his problems and suffering.

Saubhari Rishi Marries 50 Daughters of Maandhata-
Saubhari Rishi was learned in Veda etc. Once he did penance standing in a lake for 12 years. In that lake lived many children of Sammad named fish. They used to play around him freely. Seeing their play, Rishi thought, "I am wasting my life here in this penance, let me also enjoy my life like them with my children. So with this desire he went to King Mandhata. The King welcomed him and asked him what he could do for him? Rishi said - "Raajan, I have decided to spend my life as a householder, would you give me your one daughter in marriage? Do not disappoint me. You have 50 daughters, give me only one, just to relieve me from my anxiety."
When Maandhaataa aw Rishi's age and his look because of the penance, he lost in thoughts. He wanted to refuse his request, but how? Rishi guessed his problem, he said - "I have not asked you anything for which you have to think so much or which is unattainable to you. If anyone of your daughters can fulfill my desire, give her to me." The King said - "Sir, We have a tradition that the girl choose her husband herself and since your request has not been conveyed to any of my daughters, it is difficult to say that whether anyone will be ready to marry to you or not. So I am perplexed what to do."
The king knew that "This is a useless person, but he is a yogi. He has come to ask me for a daughter." So he said, "Yes, you are welcome. I have got my fifty daughters. So any one will like you. You can accept. I have no objection." So Brahmrishi Saubhari Muni understood that "The king has tactfully avoided to give his daughter." So he was a yogi. So he made himself very beautiful young man. That yogi can do that. They can change. Because we are not this body, so body is old, it can be younger; younger body can be older. Nowadays in medical science, they are also doing. A man is woman, woman is man. So body can be changed. There is no difficulty if you know the process. So he changed to be a very nice, beautiful young man.
Saubhari Rishi thought to himself, "The King is avoiding me because of my look. He thinks that I am an old man, I am not handsome and young, so his daughters may not choose me as their husband, but I will be." Thinking thus he spoke to the King - "If this is so, let me admit your inner apartments, if any of your daughters will choose me, give her to me, and if no one is willing to marry me, it means I am old." Mandhata again fell in a flux, but then he sent him in his inner apartments with some eunuchs.
As he entered the princes' palace, he changed his form to a new, young, beautiful look, and addressing them said - "O Princes, Your father has sent me, this pious sage, who demanded him a bride and the King has promised me that he will not refuse to anyone who chooses me as her husband." Seeing that young and innocent looked sage everyone got attracted to him and everyone wanted to marry him. One said to another - "Away, away, Sister, he is mine, I have chosen him first." and a quarrel arose among them for the sage.
all the fifty daughters, they became attracted. They began to fight: "Oh, he is for me. He is not for you." So anyway, he accepted all the fifty daughters. In this way he became very elevated householder. But at some time he began to think, "What is my, this enjoyment? Simply by seeing the sex affairs of the fish... I was a yogi, I was a tapasvī, I've lost everything. Now I am a householder and pet husband of these women." So he came to his senses. Again he went to the forest for tapasya.
All this was going on in he inner apartments, that in the meantime, one of the eunuchs reported this incident to the King. King got astonished to hear this. Perplexed, more than ever, by this information the King thought, "What should I do now? What is that I have said?" But at last reluctantly he married all his daughters to Saubhari Rishi. And Rishi came to his Aashram with all of them after wedding them lawfully. He employed Vishwakarmaa's services to build a separate palace for each of them containing everything best and most beautiful. Those palaces had all kinds of comforts and treasures so that all his wives can enjoy life better than from their father's house.
Maandhata Visits Her Daughters-
After some time Maandhaataa came to visit his daughters carrying all kinds of doubts in his mond. As he entered the hermitage of the Brahmrishi Saubhari, he found a row of most beautiful crystal palaces shining as brilliant as the Sun. He was surprised to see this and was thinking in which palace to enter first that one of his daughters came out from one palace and found her father looking at the palaces. She took him to her palace. King's eyes were filled with tears, he asked her - "Are you happy here, my dear, or you long for your home?"
The daughter replied - "See Father, How I live here. I have everything. My husband is never absent from my palace. He is always by my side. He even never goes to my sisters, and I am sure that they must be feeling jealous with my luck. This is the only thing I worry about." The King also felt a bit sad hearing this about his other daughters, so he went to see his other daughters. But surprisingly his all daughters said the same thing what his first daughter said to him. Hearing all this he filled with a great satisfaction and proceeded to see Rishi Saubhari. He was sitting alone.
He said - "O holy sage, I have seen your power which I do not think anybody else possesses. This is the fruit of my some kind of Punya." The King stayed there for a while and then came back to his palace.
In the course of time all his wives bore him 150 sons for him and day by day his affection to his family members increased. He found himself fully occupied with their thoughts, "they will grow, they will be married one day, then they will have children. When they will play around how fortunate I will feel? etc etc." One day he thought, "What is this? What a fool I am? There is no end of desires. Even after 1,000 or 10,000 years there will be no end of my desires. When I have seen them being born, their childhood, their youth, their old age, their death. Still the desires will not end. Is there no end of these desires? My mind will not be attached to the Supreme. All this happened because of that fish. It is because because of him that I married and the consequences of this marriage is unending desires. I will have to put an end on this."
Thinking thus he went to forest leaving everything, but his 50 wives also accompanied him to the forest.
Saubhari Rishi,Kaaliya Naag and Garuda-
From Bhaagvat Puraan, 10/p6
There was a pond in Yamunaa River. There lived Kaaliya Naag. How did he live there because he is not a water animal? Because this pond was not accessible to Garud, besides it was very deep and even others could also not go there. Why? Once, hungry Garud ate a fish at this place, in spite of prohibiting by Saubhari Rishi. All fishes got sad on the death of their chief. Maharshi Saubhari pitied on them and he gave Shaap to Garud that if he will come to this pond to eat fish he will lose his life. Nobody else knew about this Shaap except Kaaliya Naag, that is why he used to live here with the fear of Garud. After Kaaliya Daman Krishn had sent him back to Ramanak Dweep to live fearlessly there.
The pristine beauty of Saubhari Muni’s ashram in Sunrakh vrindavan Mathura-
The pristine beauty of brahmrishi Saubhari Muni’s ashram in the countryside, just on the banks of the Yamuna river, is a perfect replica of what all of ‘Vrindavan’ must have looked like hundreds, or even thousands, of years ago. We relished hearing and chanting in the sanctified atmosphere of that holy place realizing that our Kartika parikrama is almost over. We are all wondering how we will ever leave Vrindavan! But we know must, if only to share our good fortune with others.

Ramtal is the place where "Brahmrishi Saubhari" performed austerities for 1,000 years during Satyuga. He also did Yagya on the request of the then Ayodhya King Mandhata, to fight long drought in the region by pleasing the Rain God Indra.
"Brahmrishi Saubhari" also provided shelter to many species of snakes in order to protect them from Garuda, the ride of Lord Vishnu. He also used to feed fish in Yamuna River, which used to flow by the Ramtal then, This also justifies using steel in Ramtal's foundation so as to protect it against leaching from Yamuna water. It further makes Ramtal a unique site so far discovered anywhere else in India.
A Yagyashala (place of oblation) has been added to revive the legend of the place associated with "Brahmrishi Saubhari" of Satyuga.
He finds mention in most revered Hindu scripture Shrimad Bhagwatam.
Ramtal was his place of meditation and so his stone figure has also been installed, in a most aesthetic way, under a 1000 years old Banyan tree. The site is 3 Kms away from Vrindavan on motorable Sunrakh village road and is already attracting large number of tourists throughout the day.
