13. Kirtidhara, Sahadevi and Suko艣ala :
Purandara's son Kirtidhara married Sahadev墨, princess of
Ku艣asthalapura. In course of time when Kirtidhara was blessed
with a son named Suko艣ala, he renounced the world. Sahadevi was
not willing with her husband's renunciation. She banned the entry
of her husband Kirtidhara and other mendicants into the city to
prevent her son from being influenced by them. When Suko艣ala
came to learn of it, he approached Kirtidhara. After consoling his
intimidating wife Vicitram膩l膩 and declaring their unborn child as
the heir to his throne, he also became a monk. In due course Sahadev墨
died of 'Artadhy膩na' and became a tigress. Bearing the previous en-
mity she tore off Suko艣ala to pieces, but Suko艣ala on account of his
pure meditation attained liberation and K墨rtidhara became omnis-
cient. The tigress remembered her previous birth at the sight of the
teeth of her son and lamented over her deeds. She observed fast for
three days and thereafter she was reborn as a celestial being (21.78
to 22.47).
The Bhattapari峁囜箛膩 (161), the Mara峁嘺sam膩hi (466-467) and the
Samtharaga (63-64) say that Suko艣ala was strangled by his mother, now
a tigress. The PCR (21.140-22.100), the RPS (p.81f) and the TSP (IV.
p. 184f) agree with the PCV.
14. Naghu峁�a and Si峁僪ik膩 :
Suko艣ala's son, Hiranyagarbha begot Naghu峁�a on his wife
M峁沢膩vat墨. When Naghu峁�a was out of his kingdom to conquer the
northern region, his wife Si峁僪ik膩 exhibited valour by chasing away the
southern kings who had attacked her country. Duly Naghu峁�a returned
home. He got displeased with such a behaviour of his wife as it was
against the custom of the nobles that a queen should appear in the
public. He admonished and dethroned Si峁僪ik膩 from the position of
a 鈥榤ah膩dev墨. Once Naghu峁�a fell ill. No physician could cure him.
On that occasion Simhik膩 with the power of her chastity cured her
husband by merely sprinkling some water over his body. At this
Naghu峁�a restored his wife to her original status and after enthroning
his son, Sod膩sa he accepted asceticism (22.50-71).
The PCR (22.101-130) adds that Simhik膩 further conquered
other kings of the south. The
