Kripa
Hindu · mortal · epic period · Recorded classification
vitalStatus is 'living' rather than 'deceased', which is deliberate and is the tradition's own claim: Kripa is counted among the chiranjivis, the deathless, and the epic does not kill him. The record does not elaborate on that list because the treatment consulted does not, but it will not record a death the sources do not give.
