General. How he got the name A峁噄m膩峁囜笉avya.

Once there was a famous Brahmin named 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补. He did Tapas (penance) for many years standing silent in front of his 膧艣谤补尘补, under a tree, raising his hands in prayer. At that time some thieves happened to pass by that place, with stolen property belonging to the King. Finding that the King鈥檚 men were pursuing them, the thieves fled away after leaving their stolen property in 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补鈥檚 膧艣谤补尘补. The King鈥檚 men seized 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 with the king鈥檚 property. Even prolonged and repeated questionings did not bring out a single word from 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补. At last the thieves were caught. Mistaking him as one of the thieves, the King鈥檚 men produced 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 also along with the thieves before the King. The thieves were all condemned to death. The royal executioners took all of them to the place of execution and stuck them up at the tip of a trident (艢奴濒补). The thieves died, but even after a long time 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 did not die. In 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 础苍耻艣腻蝉补苍补 Parva, Verses 4651, it is said that at this stage 艢颈惫补 appeared and blessed him with longevity and then vanished. Several Munis in the shape of birds came near 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 who was lying on the trident and made enquiries about him. The King came to know of all these stories. Full of repentance, he went and begged pardon of 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补. The attempt to pull out the trident from 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补鈥檚 body failed. At last it was removed by cutting it off. Since the tip (A峁噄) of the trident was left behind in his body he was thereafter known as "A峁噄 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补". (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 膧di Parva, Chapter 107).

Curse on Dharma.

After going about in the world for many years with the tip of the trident in his body, A峁噄 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 once asked Dharma: "Oh! Lord, why is it that an innocent man like me is afflicted with the trident?". Dharma answered: "In your boyhood you once caught small birds and pierced them with a grass reed. It is a result of that sin that you have been pierced with the trident." 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 replied: "The 艢腻蝉迟谤补蝉 ordain that there shall be no punishment for sins committed till the age of twelve. Therefore the punishment inflicted on me is wrong. As the murder of a Brahmin is a greater sin than any other murder, may you be born as a man in the '艢奴诲谤补 Caste'."

By the above curse of 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补, Dharma was born a son of a 艢奴诲谤补 woman. It was this child who later on became the renowned Vidura of the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 膧di Parva, Chapter 107).

The story of how the Sun did not rise.

When A峁噄 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 lay on the tip of the trident another event happened. Atri Muni鈥檚 son 鲍驳谤补艣谤补惫补蝉 was the husband of 艢墨lavat墨. No other woman had so far surpassed 艢墨lavat墨 in her fidelity to her husband. Once 鲍驳谤补艣谤补惫补蝉 happened to fall ill. He expressed his desire to visit a prostitute鈥檚 house. As he was too weak he could not walk. The devoted wife 艢墨lavat墨 carried him on her own shoulders and took him to the prostitute鈥檚 house. They were passing near the piace where A峁噄 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 was lying on the trident. Coming to know of the matter, 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 pronounced a curse that 鲍驳谤补艣谤补惫补蝉 should die before sunrise. 艢墨lavat墨 shuddered on hearing this. Fearing that she would be widowed by the death of 鲍驳谤补艣谤补惫补蝉, she, in her turn, pronounced a curse that the Sun should not rise again.

Next day the sun did not rise. All activities came to a standstill. At last the gods approached Atri Muni. They induced 础苍补蝉奴测腻, Atri鈥檚 wife to persuade 艢墨lavat墨 to withdraw her curse. Then the sun rose again and 鲍驳谤补艣谤补惫补蝉 died. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉补 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 42).

Other details.

When the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 were living in 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补, 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 once paid a visit to them. On his way he met with certain munis. Among them was A峁噄 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 also. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, Udyoga Parva, Chapter 83).

5) Once the King of Videha told 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 that the world is transient and advised him to strive for spiritual peace. A峁噄 惭腻峁囜笉补惫测补 who was pleased with the King鈥檚 advice attained 尘辞办峁�a (salvation) at once. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 艢腻苍迟颈 Parva, Chapter 276, Verses 3-14).
