: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia°ä²¹²Ō»å°ł²¹²õ±¹Ä峾ī (ą¤ą¤Øą„ą¤¦ą„ą¤°ą¤øą„वामą„).āA brahmin, who got back his life by worshipping SÅ«rya. He stayed with his wife, DevamatÄ« in Kamalapura ruled by King Kamalavarman. A son called MahÄ«pÄla was born to him, and at the time of the birth of the child a celestial voice declared that MahÄ«pÄla would become King. A few years later a daughter called CandramatÄ« also was born to °ä²¹²Ō»å°ł²¹²õ±¹Ä峾ī. During this period, rains having failed, very severe famine stalked Kamalapura. Even the king unmindful of justice and righteousness began extracting from the people whatever they possessed. Finding the situation deteriorated so much °ä²¹²Ō»å°ł²¹²õ±¹Ä峾ī set out for his fatherin-lawās house with MahÄ«pÄla and CandramatÄ«, and on the way they had to cross what was once a wild forest, but which had by then been denuded of green trees or other foliage due to the failure of the rains. The children were severely afflicted by thirst, and so the father, after leaving them at the foot of a tree went in search of water when he was caught by the people of the forest king and taken before him. When he knew that he was about to be given in sacrifice to DevÄ« the brahmin folded his hands and prayed to SÅ«ryadeva, who appeared before him and assured him that not only will death not visit him, but also he would be united with his wife and children.
The children left under the tree began crying, their father having not returned to them, and a VaiÅya called SÄrthadhÄra who came that way felt pity for the crying children and took them to his house. One day AnantasvÄmÄ«, a brahmin and a minister of King TÄrÄnÄtha of TÄrÄpura happened to visit SÄrthadhÄra. AnantasvÄmÄ«, who had no children of his own took away with him the children from SÄrthadhÄra. (See full article at Story of °ä²¹²Ō»å°ł²¹²õ±¹Ä峾ī from the Puranic encyclopaedia by Vettam Mani)
