महर्षीणां भृगुरहं
maharṣīṇāṁ bhṛgur ahaṁ
"I am Bhṛgu amongst the great seers."
The special cover brought out by the India Post on 15.11.2014 on the occasion of the 125th Annual Adhiveshan of the Akhil Bharatiya Bhargava Sabha, Udaipur carries their logo, which has the above Sanskrit phrase inscribed in it. The text is taken from the Bhagavad-gītā, 10.25.
In this chapter, Vibhūtiyoga (the Yoga of Manifesttion), Bhagavān says that He is Bhṛgu amongst the great Ṛṣis. Lord Visṇu holds the mark of his foot on his chest because of the Ṛṣi's glory, wisdom and extreme devotion. Those who have descended from his clan are called the "Bhārgavas."
