վśԲ (विश्वानर).—A King. For a time this King was miserable as he was childless. But by the blessing of Śiva, վśԲ got a son named Gṛhapati by his wife Śucismitā. Gṛhapati was destined to have life only up to three years. But it is mentioned in Skanda Purāṇa that within this short period Gṛhapati learned the whole of Sāṅgaveda and obtained long life from Śiva.

I removed the misery of the sage վśԲ by becoming a householder. What is the use of talking much? O Viṣṇu, O Brahmā, I speak the truth. All of you know truly that I have vowed as follows. Whenever any devotee of mine is involved in any adversity I remove it instantaneously and completely. [...]�.
