I agree with you. Pranam Kashyapa and Aditi are Rishis as well as
denoting many science subjects where Kashyapar is:
1 Kaśyapa (कश्यप).—Chief among the Prajāpatis. *Kaśyapa—Son or Grandson of
Brahmā?* It is impossible to give a definite answer to this question. In
Mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 65, we see that six spiritual sons—Marīci,
Aṅgiras, Atri, Pulastya, Pul{??}aha and Kratu—were born to Brahmā. Kaśyapa
was born as the son of Marīci and that all living beings in the world took
their origin from Kaśyapa. According to this statement, Kaśyapa is the
grandson of Brahmā. But in the 14th Sarga of Araṇyakāṇḍa in Vālmīki
Rāmāyaṇa there is an account of the creation of all animate and inanimate
objects in this world. According to a statement in that passage, we find
that Kaśyapa was the youngest brother of Marīci, Atri, Pulastya and others.
This means that Kaśyapa was the son of Brahmā. Therefore there is nothing
wrong in regarding him either as the son or as the grandson of Brahmā. In
the Purāṇas we find references to him in both ways.
2 Kaśyapa (कश्यप).—A serpent. In Mahābhārata, Ādi Parva, Chapter 122, we
read that this serpent was present at the time of Arjuna’s birth.
3) Kāśyapa (काश्यप).—(KAṆVA). *General.* Two sages Kaśyapa and Kāśyapa are
mentioned in the Purāṇas, and due to the close similarity in the names in
some Purāṇas the two names are used one for the other. There is, therefore,
considerable difficulty in distinguishing the one from the other and
unerringly hitting upon the right person in certain contexts.
4) Kāśyapa (काश्यप).—Priest of Vasudeva; this Kāśyapa lived for years as a
good friend of the Pāṇḍavas. He is considered to be a very distinguished
ascetic. (Aśvamedha Parva, Chapter 16).
5) Kāśyapa (काश्यप).—Son of Sage Kaśyapa. This Kāśyapa was a member of
Indra’s assembly. (Sabhā Parva, Chapter 7). He was present at the Yajña
conducted by emperor Pṛthu.
6) Kāśyapa (काश्यप).—An Agni, the son of Kaśyapa. Pāñcajaṇya was born from
the five Agnis, Kāśyapa, Vasiṣṭha, Prāṇa, Aṅgiras and Cyavana, all of whom
were sons of Kaśyapa. (Vana Parva, Chapter 220).
7) Kāśyapa (काश्यप).—A haughty Vaiśya once felled a brahmin youth called
Kāśyapa by hitting him with his chariot. (See under Indra, Para 38).
8) Kāśyapa (काश्यप).—Sons of Kaśyapa like Vibhāṇḍaka. Rājadharman,
Viśvāvasu, Indra, Āditya and Vasu, other Devas and other living beings born
in Kaśyapa’s dynasty—all these are also called Kāśyapas.
9 Kaśyapa (कश्यप) is the name of a Sage (Muni) who once attended a great
sacrifice by Dakṣa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.27
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/shiva-purana-english/d/doc226047.html>.
Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] once a great sacrifice was
started by Dakṣa, O sage. To partake in that sacrifice, the celestial and
terrestrial sages and devas were invited by Śiva and they reached the place
being deluded by Śiva’s Māyā. [Kaśyapa, ...] and many others along with
their sons and wives arrived at the sacrifice of Dakṣa—my son”.
10 Kaśyapa (कश्यप).—(*savituḥ vidvān*, Mārīci) son of Marīci and Kalā,
and husband of Diti.1
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kashyapa#ref1_1> Married
twelve (thirteen *matsya p*.) daughters of Dakṣa, who were *brahmavādinīs*
and *loka-mātas*. Married also Pulomā and Kālakā on the advice of Brahmā.
Their sons were Dānavas distinguished for warlike qualities. 60,000 of
these were killed by Arjuna while in Heaven to please Indra.2
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kashyapa#ref1_2> Aditi was another
wife of Kaśyapa, and was the mother of Vāmana-Hari. On an appeal from her

27 Kaśyapa (कश्यप) refers to one of the seven mortal Buddhas (*mānuṣī*)
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manushi#tibetan-buddhism> whose names
appear last in the list of thirty-two Buddhas in Mahāyāna Buddhism.—The
last seven Tathāgatas are well-known, and are designated by the Mahāyānist
as Mānuṣī or “Mortal Buddhas”. When represented, the last seven Mortal
Buddhas appear all alike; they are of one colour and one form, usually
sitting cross-legged,with the right hand disposed in the Bhūmisparśa-mudrā
(earth-touching attitute), which is the *mudrā* peculiar to Akṣobhya. [...]
In paintings, the Mortal Buddhas [viz., Kaśyapa] have usually a yellow or
golden complexion. [...] Sometimes they are represented as standing, in
which case the appear under a distinguishing Bodhi Tree and with a
distinguishing *mudrā*.
28 Kaśyapa (कश्यप).—*a.* Having black teeth.
29 A tortoise.
30 A sort of fish.
31 A kind of deer.
32 Name of Kaṇāda Rishi who wrote the science
33) An epithet of Aruṇa.
34 (Kashyapi) The earth; Mb.13.62.62. तानपि दधासि मातः काश्यपि यातस्तवापि
च विवेकः (*tānapi dadhāsi mātaḥ kāśyapi yātastavāpi ca vivekaḥ*) Bv.1.68.
35 -(Kashyapam) Flesh.
36 Kāśyapapura (काश्यपपुर) refers to an old name of Kashmir and appears
to have been a kingdom of considerable extent. It has been connected with
the Kaspapuros of Hekataio, polis Iandarike Skuthon, said to have been in
or near Paktuike and called Kaspaturos by Herodotos, from which Skylax
started on his voyage down the Indus.
37 Kaśmīr appears to have been a kingdom of considerable extent. The
old name is Kāśyapapura, which has been connected with the Kaspapuros of
Hekataio {(Kaśmīr in early times appears to have been a kingdom of
considerable extent. The old name is said to have been Kāśyapapura, which
has been connected with the Kaspapuros of Hekataios (Frag. 179, and Steph.
Byzant.), polis Iandarikê Skuthôn, said to have been in or near Paktuikê
and called Kaspaturos by Herodotos (lib. iii. c. 102, lib. iv. c. 44), from
which Skylax started on his voyage down the Indus. Ptolemy has Kaspeiria
and its capital Kaspeira (lib. vii. c. 1, 42, 47, 49; lib. viii. c. 26, 7),
possibly for Kasmeira. The name Kaśmīr ii the one used in the Mahābhārata,
Pāṇini, etc. The character ascribed to the people by the Chinese pilgrim,
is quite in accord with that given to them by modern travellers (see Vigne,
Travels in Kashmir, vol. ii. p. 142 f.)}
38 ." Thus there remained 499 men. Then the king desired to go to his
own country,[18]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/south-asia/book/buddhist-records-of-the-western-world-xuanzang/d/doc220208.html#note-e-86965>
as
he suffered from the heat and moisture of this country. He also wished to
go to the stone grot[19]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/south-asia/book/buddhist-records-of-the-western-world-xuanzang/d/doc220208.html#note-e-86966>
at Rājagṛha <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/rajagriha#buddhism>,
where Kāśyapa <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kashyapa#buddhism> had
held his religious assembly (convocation). The honourable Pārśva and others
then counselled him, saying, "We cannot go there, because there are many
heretical teachers there, and different śāstras being brought under
consideration, there will be clamour and vain discussion. Without having
right leisure for consideration, what benefit will there be in making
(fresh) treatises?[20] {Documents of

39 Thus the meanings of Aditi and Diti classify the origins of earth
and space etc where Kashyapa was the sky and Aditi was earth and Diti is
under the earth. Sanskrit texts of vedic times have abundant data to
unearth but we are remaining watching west quotes, unaware of all these;
and the Sumba Singaporian like write something which his mind thinks to
jibe at others, having hurt by shallow knowledge being exposed; the problem
of elders is that , the pinnacle of their strength, they had prefixed,
when(it) (is) shaken, considered as , the opposites, as scoundrels, pith
and below par-all presumed - within their megalomania minds; had there been
a moment of light , they would have understood, how much , they have
missed; in short, THE ASAFOETIDA IN THE BOX (ELDERS) COULD MAKE THE SAMBAR
IN HIGH SWEET SMELL; BUT IT CANNOT BECOME IN ITSELF A SAMBAR; LET THERE BE
LIGHT; THAMASOMA JYOTHIRGA MAYA; THE MIND WHICH IS WILLING TO ACCEPT A 32
YEAR OLD AS adi, REFUSES TO ADMIT THE ONE STEP ABOVE, IN SPITE OF THE
GROWTH TOWARDS THE SHADOWS OF WITHERING. KR IRS 3322
