Phalgutantra (फल्गुतन्त्�).—The father of Sagara. During the old age of Phalgutantra the Haihayas led by Tālajaṅghas attacked Ayodhyā and drove out the royal family from the palace. Phalgutantra fled from the palace with his wife and stayed in the āśrama of Aurva. The King died before long. The queen who was pregnant then delivered a son in due course and he became the celebrated Sagara. (Chapter 3, Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa).
