Sage Sankha was brother of Sage Likita and son of Sage Sandilya. Both of them contributed for Kalpasutra and Smriti. A story about him says, once Sudyumna, the king of the land cut off the hand of his brother Likhita for charges of eating vegetable without permission. But Likhita’s hand grows into original form by the power of penance of Sankha (Mahabharatha, Santhi Parva, 23)
