Genealogy.

See 顿补艣补谤补迟丑补鈥檚 Genealogy.

Reign and Birth of Son.

顿颈濒墨辫补 is counted as one of the noblest kings. His reign was extremely popular. But even after a long period of married life, he had no issue. His queen was Sudak峁�i峁嚹�, the princess of Magadha. In order to get 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补鈥檚 advice, 顿颈濒墨辫补 and Sudak峁�i峁嚹� went to the sage鈥檚 腻艣谤补尘补. After hearing about their grievance, 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补 meditated for a little while and described why the royal couple were not blessed with children:鈥�"Long ago, 顿颈濒墨辫补 had paid a visit to Indra. While returning after the visit, he passed by 碍腻尘补诲丑别苍耻 who was lying under the shade of 碍补濒辫补惫峁沰峁�a. He paid no heed to her, as he did not see her. The divine cow (碍腻尘补诲丑别苍耻) took this as a personal slight to her and cursed the King that he would not have children until he served and propitiated her daughter, 狈补苍诲颈苍墨. Neither the King nor his charioteer was aware of the curse. 碍腻尘补诲丑别苍耻 has now gone to 笔腻迟腻濒补 (underworld) to attend a sacrifice of 痴补谤耻峁嘺. Therefore 顿颈濒墨辫补 and his queen should attend on and propitiate her daughter, 狈补苍诲颈苍墨."

From the next morning the King and queen began to offer their services to 狈补苍诲颈苍墨. The King followed her as her shadow. After twentyone days, one morning 狈补苍诲颈苍墨 went to graze in a dense forest. As usual, the King also followed her. As they reached the middle of the woods, the King was enchanted for a moment by the charm of the Sylvan scenery. Just then, on turning round he saw a lion springing towards 狈补苍诲颈苍墨 to prey upon her. Suddenly he took up his bow and aimed an arrow at the lion, but to his great amazement, his hands were paralysed. The lion spoke to him as follows:鈥�"O King, you need not exert yourself in vain. I am the servant of Lord 艢颈惫补. This holy deodar tree which you see in front of us, was planted and tended by 笔腻谤惫补迟墨. My task is to protect this tree. 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 and lord 艢颈惫补 have authorized me to kill and eat the animals which come this way. Therefore this cow is my food."

The king was in a fix. He begged the lion to spare 狈补苍诲颈苍墨 and to eat his (king's) body instead. The lion agreed. The King put down his arms and stood bowing down in front of the lion. Hearing the words, "Beloved child, arise" he looked up, and the lion had vanished. Just then 狈补苍诲颈苍墨 told him that it was she herself who had done this to test him. The King and 狈补苍诲颈苍墨 then returned to the 膧艣rama. As a result of 狈补苍诲颈苍墨鈥檚 blessing, the King鈥檚 wife bore a son who later became the celebrated emperor Raghu. (Padma 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Uttara 碍丑补峁囜笉补, Chapter 198).

Killing of the Asura, 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补.

Once a powerful Asura named 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补 attacked 痴补颈艣谤补惫补峁嘺. When lord 艢颈惫补 came to know of it he tried to defeat 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补, but in vain. At 艢颈惫补鈥檚 request, 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 entered the scene. He was also unable to subdue the Asura. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 advised 痴补颈艣谤补惫补峁嘺 to seek the help of 顿颈濒墨辫补. 顿颈濒墨辫补 went to Alak膩pur墨 and encountered 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补. Under the shower of arrows fram 顿颈濒墨辫补, blood began to flow from the body of 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补. But each drop of his blood came to life as a new 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补 and all those 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补s continued a ceaseless battle with 顿颈濒墨辫补. At last 顿颈濒墨辫补 prayed to Rakte艣var墨 who suddenly appeared and drank all the blood. In this way the king managed to kill 痴墨谤补蝉别苍补. (Kampa 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, Yuddha 碍腻峁囜笉补).

顿颈濒墨辫补 and the Holy Waters.

Once king 顿颈濒墨辫补 led a saintly life on the bank of 骋补峁単腻, the sacred place worshipped by Devas, 峁氠梗is and Gandharvas. With religious practices and offering 辫奴箩腻 to Devas, 峁氠梗is and 笔颈迟峁泂, he spent time in prayer and meditation. One day he happened to meet 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补, and paid homage to him. The sage 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补 described to him all the places of sacred waters and explained the greatness of each. (See under 碍丑补峁璿腻峁単补). (Padma 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 10).
