Birth.

叠腻丑耻办补, father of Sagara, was known as 厂耻产腻丑耻 also. Sagara was 叠腻丑耻办补鈥檚 son by his wife, 驰腻诲补惫墨. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 16). Though Sagara was a prince he was born at the 腻艣谤补尘补 of Aurva, and there was a reason for it.

厂耻产腻丑耻 and 驰腻诲补惫墨 did not have a child for long. But, as a result of many 测补箩帽补蝉 conducted for the gift of a child, 驰腻诲补惫墨 conceived. While she was in the seventh month of her pregnancy her co-wife administered poison to her with the result that she did not further advance in pregnancy and deliver in due time. Thus she continued as a pregnant woman for seven years. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 16). The King became an old man. During this period 罢腻濒补箩补峁単丑补, king of Hehaya, attacked 础测辞诲丑测腻 with his army, and 厂耻产腻丑耻, despite his old age, fought back. But the fighting grew fiercer. 厂耻产腻丑耻 found that he would not be able to defeat 罢腻濒补箩补峁単丑补 and so he escaped into the forest with his wife 驰腻诲补惫墨. They took shelter in the 腻艣谤补尘补 of sage Aurva. 厂耻产腻丑耻 expired there due to old age and 驰腻诲补惫墨 got ready to follow him in his pyre. The Muni prevented her from doing so by pointing out to her that the child in her womb was a very fortunate one and would become emperor of the seven islands when he grew up to manhood. 驰腻诲补惫墨 delivered shortly. As the poison (gara) given to her by the co-wife had immobilised her pregnancy for so long Aurva named her child Sagara. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapters 16 and 17).

To 础测辞诲丑测腻.

Sage Aurva conducted the Upanayana ceremony of the boy and taught him the Vedas ete. Once 驰腻诲补惫墨 wept to hear the boy address the muni 'father', and when the son asked her the reason for it she told him that the muni was not his father, who was really greater than the muni. She also told him their previous history, and Sagara decided to return to 础测辞诲丑测腻 somehow.

The people of 础测辞诲丑测腻 lived scattered here and there in fear of 罢腻濒补箩补峁単丑补, and disgusted with such an existence, they came together and took refuge with 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补, who told them that king 厂耻产腻丑耻 had expired in Aurv腻艣谤补尘补, but that his son Sagara was there in the 腻艣谤补尘补. He further advised them to bring Sagara back and reconquer 础测辞诲丑测腻. 驰腻诲补惫墨 wept at the sight of the people from 础测辞诲丑测腻 and they insisted upon Sagara鈥檚 return to the state as their king. They waited in the 腻艣谤补尘补 for five days for Sagara. Then Sagara and his mother, with the blessings of the Sage, returned to 础测辞诲丑测腻 along with the people. Sagara fought 罢腻濒补箩补峁単丑补, reconquered 础测辞诲丑测腻 and crowned himself as king. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapters 20 to 23).

Family life.

Sagara had two wives called Sumati alias 痴补颈诲补谤产丑墨 and 碍别艣颈苍墨 alias 艢补颈产测腻. Sumati was the daughter of 骋补谤耻岣峚.

As he had no issues for long, Sagara, with his wives, went to 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 and began doing tapas at 叠丑峁沢耻prasrava峁嘺 mountain. After hundred years 叠丑峁沢耻 appeared and blessed Sagara that one of his wives would give birth to 60,000 sons and the other to one, who would add to the glory of the dynasty. Sumati chose 60,000 sons and 碍别艣颈苍墨 the one son.

The king and the queens returned to 础测辞诲丑测腻 and in due course Sumati delivered the son called 础蝉补尘补帽箩补蝉补 who was to bring prosperity to the dynasty. Sumati gave birth to a lump of flesh, which developed into 60,000 children. They were put in pots of ghee and they grew up to become young persons. (痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, B膩lak膩n岣峚, Canto 33).

Some 笔耻谤腻峁嘺s contain stories somewhat different from the above about the birth of the 60,000 children. e.g. in the 9th Skandha of Dev墨 Bh膩gavata, the story is related as follows; "碍别艣颈苍墨 delivered the son 础蝉补尘补帽箩补蝉补 and Sumati did not deliver at all. So she did tapas for 艢颈惫补 for children and because of his blessing she conceived. Sumati delivered only hundred years after continuing to be pregnant, and even that was only a piece of flesh, and she began weeping addressing 艢颈惫补, who appeared before her and cut the mass of flesh into 60,000 parts. Each piece of flesh transformed itself into a very powerful and effulgent man.

Loss of children.

Kapila turned into ashes the 60,000 sons of Sagara. 叠丑补驳墨谤补迟丑补 revived them. (For details see under 叠丑补驳墨谤补迟丑补).

Triumphal tour.

Sagara ruled the kingdom well and while living happily thus with his sons, he set out on a triumphal tour. After conquering the northern regions he moved towards the south, his object being 惭腻丑颈峁�m补迟墨, Kingdom of the Hehayas. He destroyed the Hehayas completely in battle. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapters 89 and 90).

Evening of life.

Sagara ruled the kingdom for 300 years. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 91). His son, 础蝉补尘补帽箩补蝉补 was a tormentor of his subjects. In the evening of his life, Sagara transmitted the throne to his grandson 础峁兣泆尘腻苍 (son of 础蝉补尘补帽箩补蝉补). The rest of his life he spent in Aurv腻艣谤补尘补 with his wife engaged in meditation.
