顿耻峁补苍迟补 (啶︵啶粪啶え啷嵿い).鈥擭ame of a king of the lunar race, descendant of Puru, husband of 艢akuntal膩 and father of Bharata. [Once upon a time 顿耻峁补苍迟补, while hunting in the forest, went to the hermitage of the sage Ka峁噕a, while pursuing a deer. There he was hospitably received by 艢akuntal膩, the adopted daughter of the sage, and her transcendent beauty made so great an impression on his mind that he prevailed on her to become his queen, and married her according to the 骋腻苍诲丑补谤惫补 form of marriage. Having passed some time in her company the king returned to his capital. After some months 艢akuntal膩 was delivered of a son, and her father thought it advisable to send her with the boy to her husband. But when they went and stood before 顿耻峁补苍迟补, he (for fear of public scandal) denied all knowledge of having ever before seen or married her. But a heavenly voice told him that she was his lawful wife, and he thereupon admitted her; along with the boy, into his harem, and made her first queen. The happy pair lived to a good old age and committing the realm to the care of Bharata, retired to the woods. Such is the account of 顿耻峁补苍迟补 and 艢akuntal膩 given in the Mah膩bh膩rata; the story told by K膩lid膩sa differs in several important respects; see "Sakuntal膩".]
