=== ''Upanishads'' ===
In [[Taittiriya Upanishad|Tattiriya Upanishad]], first six anuvakas of Bhrigu Valli are called ''Bhargavi Varuni Vidya'', which means "the knowledge Bhrigu got from (his father) Varuni". It is in these anuvakas that sage Varuni advises Bhrigu with one of the oft-cited definition of Brahman, as "that from which beings originate, through which they live, and in which they re-enter after death, explore that because that is Brahman".<ref name=pauldeussen311>Paul Deussen, Sixty Upanishads of the Veda, Volume 1, Motilal Banarsidass, {{ISBN|978-8120814684}}, pages 241-246</ref> This thematic, all encompassing, eternal nature of reality and existence develops as the basis for Bhrigu's emphasis on introspection and inwardization, to help peel off the outer husks of knowledge, in order to reach and realize the innermost kernel of spiritual self-knowledge.<ref name=pauldeussen311/>

=== ''Bhrigu Samhita'' ===
Bhrigu decided to write his famous books of astrology, the ''[[Bhrigu Samhita]]''. Bhrigu collected birth charts, wrote full-life predictions, and compiled them together as ''Bhrigu Samhita''. ''Bhrigu Samhita'' is believed to be one of the first book of its kind in the field of [[astrology]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Koʻmarhanʻ |first1=Mranʻ mā Nuiṅʻ ṅaṃ Samuiṅʻʺ |title=Myanmar Historical Commission conference proceedings |publisher=Myanmar Historical Commission, Golden Jubilee Publication Committee |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nWtuAAAAMAAJ&q=first+astrological+treatise+brighu |access-date=12 August 2018|year=2005 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Experts |first1=Disha |title=The History Compendium for IAS Prelims General Studies CSAT Paper 1, UPSC & State PSC |date=1 May 2017 |publisher=Disha Publication |isbn=978-9386323446 |edition= Second |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OLctDwAAQBAJ&q=maharishi+bhrigu+during+the+vedic&pg=PA56}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Rao |first1=T.M. |title=Bhrigu Samhita |publisher=Pustak Mahal |isbn=978-8122310214 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7pNxr9blvjgC&q=it+is+confirmed+fact+that+saint+bhrigu+was&pg=PT9 |access-date=12 August 2018|year=2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Eyzdagird |first1=Erhiem |title=Bhrigu Samhita: el Primer Libro de Astrología Védica: Traducción Al Español de Manuscritos de Hojas Del período Védico |publisher=Independently Published |isbn=978-1980573210 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2HsJtwEACAAJ&q=bhrigu+samhita |access-date=12 August 2018|date=16 March 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Lane |first1=David |title=The World's Oldest Astrological Book: The Bhrigu Samhita of Ancient India |date=18 March 2011 |publisher=MSAC Philosophy Group }}</ref>
