King of birds.

Genealogy.

Descended from 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 迟丑耻蝉:鈥�叠谤补丑尘腻 -惭补谤墨肠颈鈥�碍补艣测补辫补鈥�骋补谤耻岣峚.

Birth.

碍补艣测补辫补, grandson of 叠谤补丑尘腻 and son of 惭补谤墨肠颈 married the eight daughters of 顿补办峁�a called Aditi, Diti, Danu, 碍腻濒颈办腻, 罢腻尘谤腻, 碍谤辞诲丑补惫补艣腻, Manu and Anal膩. And to 罢腻尘谤腻 five daughters were born, viz. 碍谤补耻帽肠墨, 叠丑腻蝉墨, 艢测别苍墨, 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤墨 and 艢耻办墨. Out of the five women 碍谤补耻帽肠墨 became mother of the owls, 叠丑腻蝉墨 delivered the 产丑腻蝉补蝉 (types of birds) and from 艢测别苍墨 were born vultures and kites. 贬补峁僺补, 碍补濒补丑补峁僺补, Koka etc. are children of 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤墨. From 艢耻办墨 was born 狈补濒腻 and from 狈补濒腻, 痴颈苍补迟腻; 础谤耻峁嘺 and 骋补谤耻岣峚 were the two sons born to 痴颈苍补迟腻. (痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, Ara峁噛ak膩峁囜笉a, Canto 15).

There is a story in the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 about the birth of 础谤耻峁嘺 and 骋补谤耻岣峚. 碍补艣测补辫补 who was much pleased with the service of 痴颈苍补迟腻 and 碍补诲谤奴 asked them to select any boon they desired. 碍补诲谤奴 chose to have a thousand 苍腻驳补蝉 as her children while 痴颈苍补迟腻 chose to have two sons more powerful and heroic than the thousand sons of 碍补诲谤奴. After granting them the boon 碍补艣测补辫补 retreated into the forest.

After some time 碍补诲谤奴 laid thousand eggs and 痴颈苍补迟腻 two eggs. Both of them kept their eggs in hot pots. In the 500th year the eggs of 碍补诲谤奴 hatched and thousand serpents of various kinds emerged out of them. But 痴颈苍补迟腻鈥檚 eggs did not hatch yet, and the sight of 碍补诲谤奴 playing with her children pained 痴颈苍补迟腻 much. She, therefore, broke open one of her eggs in secret, and a half-grown child stepped out of it. That child was 础谤耻峁嘺. 础谤耻峁嘺 got angry that 痴颈苍补迟腻 forced open the egg prematurely. He told her that as punishment thereof she would become a slave of 碍补诲谤奴. But, 础谤耻峁嘺 granted her redemption from the curse thus: After another 500 years the remaining egg of yours will hatch and a son endowed with exceptional power and prowess will be born to you. He will liberate you from slavery." After telling his mother so much 础谤耻峁嘺 rose to the sky where he became the charioteer of the Sun. (膧di Parva, Chapter 16. See also Para 6 infra).

After 500 years the egg broke itself open and out came 骋补谤耻岣峚 with blazing effulgence, and he rose up in the sky. His body glowed like the sun. The Devas who got themselves dimmed by his effulgence asked Agnideva the reason therefor. Agnideva told them about the birth of 骋补谤耻岣峚 and also that he was equally effulgent as himself (Agnideva). Then all of them went to 骋补谤耻岣峚 and lavished on his head all possible blessings, and 骋补谤耻岣峚, as requested by them, controlled his effulgence and returned to his mother. (膧di Parva, Chapter 23).

Slavery of 痴颈苍补迟腻:

The churning of the Milk-ocean was done before 骋补谤耻岣峚 was born. Indra got a horse named 鲍肠肠补颈岣ヅ况补惫补蝉 from the Ocean of Milk. Between 碍补诲谤奴 and 痴颈苍补迟腻 a dispute arose as regards the colour of the horse鈥檚 tail, 碍补诲谤奴 saying that it was black while 痴颈苍补迟腻 asserted that it was white. They further agreed to test the colour the next day, betting that she who was proved to be wrong would become the slave of the victor. As the 苍腻驳补 sons of 碍补诲谤奴 hung on to the tail of the horse the tail appeared to be black and 痴颈苍补迟腻 lost the bet and became 碍补诲谤奴鈥檚 slave.

It was at this juncture that 骋补谤耻岣峚 was born, and he felt highly mortified to find his mother working as a slave of 碍补诲谤奴.

碍补诲谤奴 and her 苍腻驳补 sons once ordered 痴颈苍补迟腻 to carry them to the 苍腻驳补 residence in the middle of the ocean, called 搁腻尘补峁嚹珁aka (Rama峁嘺m). Accordingly 痴颈苍补迟腻 carrying 碍补诲谤奴 on her shoulders and 骋补谤耻岣峚 carrying 碍补诲谤奴鈥檚 sons on his shoulders rose up in the sky. But, 骋补谤耻岣峚 did not relish the slavish work, and he, carrying with him the 苍腻驳补蝉, flew up to the sun鈥檚 orbit. The 苍腻驳补 children fainted due to the excessive heat. But, on the request of 碍补诲谤奴 Indra sent heavy rain and the 苍腻驳补蝉 regained consciousness. By then they had reached 搁腻尘补峁嚹珁aka island.

Attempt at freeing 痴颈苍补迟腻 from thraldom.

骋补谤耻岣峚, extremely pained at the pitiable plight of his mother, one day asked 碍补诲谤奴 what price she and her children demanded for freeing 痴颈苍补迟腻 from slavery, and 碍补诲谤奴 demanded 础尘峁泃补 from Devaloka as the price. 骋补谤耻岣峚 decided to get it and informed his mother about his decision to fly to Devaloka. But, what about food till he reached Devaloka? 痴颈苍补迟腻 solved the problem by advising 骋补谤耻岣峚 to eat the 苍颈峁Ｄ乨补蝉 he will meet on his way to Devaloka at the island called Ni峁Ｄ乨膩laya, at the same time specially forbidding him from eating on any account, brahmins who might be there, at Ni峁Ｄ乨膩laya. How to distinguish brahmins from others, queried 骋补谤耻岣峚, and his mother replied by pointing out that the brahmin will burn the throat of him who tries to eat him, like fire. Then 痴颈苍补迟腻 blessed her son that his wings would be protected by 痴腻测耻, the lower half of his body by sun and moon, the rest of the body by the Vasus and the head by Agni. She also promised to wait there till her son returned.

骋补谤耻岣峚 to Devaloka.

After saluting his mother 骋补谤耻岣峚 set out on his quest for 础尘峁泃补. All the fourteen worlds shook at the lashing of his wings. He reached Ni峁Ｄ乨膩laya, where while consuming whole lots of Ni峁Ｄ乨as a brahmin and his wife also happened to get into his throat. 骋补谤耻岣峚 felt their presence immediately in his throat and requested them to get out of his mouth. Accordingly they got out and also blessed 骋补谤耻岣峚, who continued on his journey.

Next 骋补谤耻岣峚 reached the forest where his father 碍补艣测补辫补 was engaged in tapas. He told him about his mission and requested him for something to eat. 碍补艣测补辫补 replied 迟丑耻蝉:鈥�"You see a pool wherein an elephant and a tortoise are living for long as enemies. Long ago two brothers 痴颈产丑腻惫补蝉耻 and 厂耻辫谤补迟墨办补 quarrelled over their paternal wealth and at the height of it 痴颈产丑腻惫补蝉耻 cursed 厂耻辫谤补迟墨办补 to become an elephant when 厂耻辫谤补迟墨办补 pronounced the counter curse that 痴颈产丑腻惫补蝉耻 should turn out to be a tortoise. You, my son 骋补谤耻岣峚 may eat that elephant and tortoise. May your journey for 础尘峁泃补 be crowned with success.

Now, 骋补谤耻岣峚 after saluting his father, flew up in the sky carrying in his beak the elephant and the tortoise from the pool. As trees were falling uprooted due to the terrific vibrations caused by the lashing of his wings 骋补谤耻岣峚 did not find a convenient place to sit down to eat his food. While continuing the journey 骋补谤耻岣峚 saw a big tree, its branches spread out in a circumference of a hundred yojanas. But, as soon as 骋补谤耻岣峚 set foot on a branch of the tree it (branch) crumbled down. On that broken branch were the sages called 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 doing tapas hanging their heads down. Fearing that the sages might fall down 骋补谤耻岣峚 continued his flight holding in his beak the torn branch of the tree. But he could not find a safe place to deposit the branch with the sages. So he came again to Mount 骋补苍诲丑补尘腻诲补苍补 and saw 碍补艣测补辫补, who apologised to the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 on behalf of his son and also explained to them about his mission. The 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 were pleased and they left the place for the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉. As advised by 碍补艣测补辫补 骋补谤耻岣峚 deposited the branch of the tree on an uninhabited mountain peak. 骋补谤耻岣峚 ate the elephant and the tortoise there, and therefrom flew to Devaloka (膧di Parva, Chapter 29, 30).

叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 cursed Indra.

Even before the arrival of 骋补谤耻岣峚 ill omens began appearing in Devaloka. Indra asked 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 for explanation about the ill omens. 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 with his divine eyes saw 骋补谤耻岣峚 approaching Devaloka for 础尘峁泃补, and he told Indra about 骋补谤耻岣峚 born out of the powers of the tapas of 碍补艣测补辫补 and the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉. He also told that such a fate as the present one befell Indra due to a curse of the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉. Indra and the other Devas stood guard over the pot of 础尘峁泃补 ready to repel all possible attacks.

There was a reason for 骋补谤耻岣峚鈥檚 birth from the powers of the tapas of the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉, and also for Indra to be put into the present predicament due to the curse of the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉. 碍补艣测补辫补praj膩pati, a long time ago, began a terrific 测补箩帽补 for a son, and Indra and the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 who numbered more than 60,000 were deputed by 碍补艣测补辫补 to collect firewood for the 测补箩帽补. The 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 were only of the size of a thumb, and Indra who very easily collected all the firewood needed for the 测补箩帽补 laughed at the tiny 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 who were carrying small twigs etc. for firewood. Angered at the insult the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 removed themselves to another place nearby and began a 测补箩帽补 directed against Indra who alarmed at it sought the help of 碍补艣测补辫补 who then held peace talks with the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉. They transferred their y膩ga艣akti (y膩j帽ic powers) also to 碍补艣测补辫补 and agreed to be satisfied with the condition that as the result of 碍补艣测补辫补鈥檚 测补箩帽补 a son should be born to him, who (the son) would defeat Indra. Thus, for the time being Indra escaped from the wrath of the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉. After the 测补箩帽补 was over 痴颈苍补迟腻 came to 碍补艣测补辫补 and he blessed her with a son wishing that he should become exceptionally strong and powerful, and that was 骋补谤耻岣峚. (膧di Parva, Chapter 30).

础尘峁泃补kala艣膩pahara峁嘺m. (The pot of nectar carried away).

骋补谤耻岣峚 approached the pot of nectar, and 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘腻 who attacked him first was felled to the ground. The dust storm raised by the waving of 骋补谤耻岣峚鈥檚 wings blinded everybody. The Devas and Indra, nay, even the sun and the Moon lined up against 骋补谤耻岣峚, but he defeated them all, and entered the particular place where the pot of nectar was kept. Two terrific wheels were rotating round the pot and they would cut into mince-meat anybody who tried to lay hands on the pot and a machine circled the wheels. Below the wheels were two monstrous serpents with glowing eyes and protruding tongues like flashes of fire, and the serpents never closed their eyes. The very look with those eyes was enough to poison anyone to death. 骋补谤耻岣峚 blinded those eyes by raising a torrent of dust, pierced them in the middle with his beak and and through the hole, his body reduced to such a tiny shape, went nearer to the pot. He destroyed the wheels and the machine, and carrying the pot of nectar in his beaks rose to the sky shielding the light of the sun by his outspread wings. 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻, who became so much pleased with the tremendous achievements of 骋补谤耻岣峚 asked him to choose any boon. 骋补谤耻岣峚 requested 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 that he should be made his (痴颈峁ａ箛耻's) vehicle and rendered immortal without his tasting am峁泃a. Both the boons were granted.

骋补谤耻岣峚 and Indra became friends.

Indra hit with the Vajra (his special weapon) the wings of 骋补谤耻岣峚 who was returning from 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. It did not wound his body, but a feather of his fell in the atmosphere. Everybody who saw the feather acclaimed 骋补谤耻岣峚 as 厂耻辫补谤峁嘺 (he with the good wings). Indra was wonder-struck, and he approached 骋补谤耻岣峚 and requested that they should be friends in future and the pot of nectar be returned. 骋补谤耻岣峚 replied that the nectar would be returned if he was granted the power to make 苍腻驳补蝉 his food, and Indra blessed him that he would live by consuming 苍腻驳补蝉. And then 骋补谤耻岣峚 told Indra thus: "I took this pot of am峁泃a not for my own use. The 苍腻驳补蝉 cheated my mother and made her a slave, and she will be freed if only this pot of nectar is given to them (苍腻驳补蝉). You may snatch off the pot from the 苍腻驳补蝉; I shall not object to it."

Indra and 骋补谤耻岣峚 thus became friends and the former followed 骋补谤耻岣峚 on his way back home.

骋补谤耻岣峚 handed over the pot of am峁泃a to the 苍腻驳补蝉 and Indra cheated them of it.

骋补谤耻岣峚 handed over the pot of nectar to the 苍腻驳补蝉, who on the suggestion of the former placed the pot on darbha grass spread on the ground. Also, in accordance with 骋补谤耻岣峚鈥檚 advice that they should take a purificatory bath before tasting the am峁泃a the 苍腻驳补蝉 went out to have the bath, and in their absence Indra carried off the pot of nectar back to Devaloka. Failing to find the pot of nectar on their return from bath the aggrieved 苍腻驳补蝉 licked the darbha on which the pot was placed with the result that their tongues were cloven into two. It was from that day onwards that the 苍腻驳补蝉 became double-tongued (dvijihvas). And, thus 骋补谤耻岣峚 redeemed his mother from slavery. (膧di Parva, Chapter 34).

The fig tree which 骋补谤耻岣峚 broke with his beaks and 尝补峁卥腻.

It has been noted above that 骋补谤耻岣峚 on his way to Devaloka rested on a fig tree. That fig is called Subhadra in 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺.

搁腻惫补峁嘺 saw the fig tree around which sages were sitting and which bore marks made by 骋补谤耻岣峚 sitting thereon. (痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, Ara峁噛ak膩峁囜笉a, Canto 35, Verse 26).

There is some connection between this tree and 尝补峁卥腻. 骋补谤耻岣峚 had, as directed by 碍补艣测补辫补, deposited in the sea the branch of the tree on which the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉 hung in tapas and with which 骋补谤耻岣峚 flew hither and thither fearing about the safety of the 叠腻濒补办丑颈濒测补蝉. At the spot in the sea where the branch was deposited sprang up an island like the peak of a mountain. It was this island which in after years became reputed as 尝补峁卥腻. (碍补迟丑腻蝉补谤颈迟蝉腻驳补谤补, Kath膩mukhala峁僢aka, 罢补谤补峁単补 4).

骋补谤耻岣峚, Saubhari and 碍腻濒颈测补.

骋补谤耻岣峚 had always entertained great hatred against the 苍腻驳补蝉, and now Indra鈥檚 permission having been obtained by him to eat the 苍腻驳补蝉 for food, 骋补谤耻岣峚 decided to launch a regular 苍腻驳补-hunting expedition. He began eating the 苍腻驳补蝉 one by one. Alarmed at this the 苍腻驳补蝉 planned for their security in a conclave, and approached 骋补谤耻岣峚 with the proposal that one 苍腻驳补 would go to him daily to serve as his food instead of his indiscriminate killing of them. 骋补谤耻岣峚 accepted their proposal. After some time the 苍腻驳补蝉 proposed to 骋补谤耻岣峚 that they would conduct a sarpa-bali (sacrifice of serpents) and submit the food got out of the bali to him so that his 苍腻驳补hunting might be stopped for ever. 骋补谤耻岣峚 agreed to this also. According to the new agreement daily one 苍腻驳补 began going to 骋补谤耻岣峚 with the food got out of the bali.

But 碍腻濒颈测补 alone did not agree to the programme as he did not recognise 骋补谤耻岣峚 to be superior to him in power. And, 骋补谤耻岣峚, who wanted to teach the haughty 碍腻濒颈测补 a lesson challenged him to fight, and the fight took place in river 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨, 碍腻濒颈测补鈥檚 abode. During the fight the lashing of 骋补谤耻岣峚鈥檚 wings raised the water in 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 up in the sky and it drenched the sage Saubhari all over, who was performing tapas on the banks of 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨. Saubhari cursed that the body of 骋补谤耻岣峚 be shattered into a thousand pieces if ever he entered that area in future, and thenceforth the place became a prohibited area for 骋补谤耻岣峚. During after years 碍腻濒颈测补 was put up at this place.

A kadamba tree alone outlived the eflect of the poison of 碍腻濒颈测补. The tree could outlive the deadly poison because 骋补谤耻岣峚 had rested on it on his way back from Devaloka with am峁泃a. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 da艣ama 艢kandha).

Relationship of 骋补谤耻岣峚 with the kings of the solar dynasty.

King Sagara of the solar dynasty was married to Sumati, the elder sister of 骋补谤耻岣峚, and there is a story behind the marriage.

There was once a king called 厂耻产腻丑耻 in the solar dynasty. He married one 驰腻诲补惫墨, but for many years they had no issues. 驰腻诲补惫墨 had become old by the time she conceived a child as the result of many 测补箩帽补s etc. But, 厂耻产腻丑耻鈥檚 other wives, viz. co-wives of 驰腻诲补惫墨, did not like the prospects of 驰腻诲补惫墨 becoming a mother. They administered poison to her with the result that 驰腻诲补惫墨 did not deliver in time, but continued as a pregnant woman for seven years. The sad couple, for their mental relief went into the forest and lived as disciples of a sage called Aurva. But 厂耻产腻丑耻 died rather soon and 驰腻诲补惫墨 prepared herself to follow him in the funeral pyre. But, the sage Aurva prevented her from self immolation speaking to her thus: "You shall not act rashly. The child in your womb will become a famous emperor and rule over the whole world."

驰腻诲补惫墨 yielded to the sage鈥檚 advice and did not court death, and soon afterwards she delivered a son, and he was named Sagara, which meant "he who was affected by poison even while he was in the mother鈥檚 womb. It was this child who, in later years, became reputed as emperor Sagara.

Sagara married the elder sister of 骋补谤耻岣峚 when he was living as a boy in Aurva鈥檚 腻艣谤补尘补, and there is a story behind the marriage, a story which related to the time when 骋补谤耻岣峚 was not born.

痴颈苍补迟腻, mother of 骋补谤耻岣峚, while she was working as the slave of 碍补诲谤奴, one day went into the woods to collect firewood for her mistress. In the terrible rain and storm that ensued, 痴颈苍补迟腻 lost her track and wandered in the forest for many days before she could take shelter in the 腻艣谤补尘补 of a Sanny膩sin. The pious man felt sorry for poor 痴颈苍补迟腻 and blessed her that a son, who would be able to win freedom for her would be born to her. 骋补谤耻岣峚 was the son thus born to her.

Before the birth of 骋补谤耻岣峚 when 碍补艣测补辫补 and 痴颈苍补迟腻 were living together with their daughter Sumati the boy sage Upamanyu, son of Sutapas, went to them and told 碍补艣测补辫补 thus: "While touring round the earth I worshipped the 辫颈迟峁泂 at 骋补测腻 and I have been told that they (Pit峁泂) would get redemption only in case I married and became a father. I, therefore, request you to please give your daughter Sumati to me as wife. 痴颈苍补迟腻 did not relish this proposal. Upamanyu got angry at the rejection of his offer and cursed 痴颈苍补迟腻 saying that if Sumati was given in marriage to any other brahmin boy she (痴颈苍补迟腻) would die with her head broken into pieces.

It was during this period when 痴颈苍补迟腻 was in a fix about the marriage of Sumati that 骋补谤耻岣峚 was born to her. He also thought over the problem and argued like this: the curse is only against a brahmin boy marrying my sister Sumati; why not Sumati be given in marriage to a 碍峁�a迟谤颈测补; but where to find an eligible 碍峁�a迟谤颈测补 boy? At this stage 痴颈苍补迟腻 asked him to go and meet the Sanny膩sin, who had promised her an illustrious son, in the forest and this Sanny膩sin directed 骋补谤耻岣峚 to Aurva, for advice and guidance. When 骋补谤耻岣峚 met Aurva and sought his advice about the marriage of his sister, the sage thought that the context offered a very good bride to Sagara. And, according to Aurva鈥檚 advice Sumati was married to Sagara, and thus 骋补谤耻岣峚 became related to the Kings of the Solar dynasty. (叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapters 16, 17 and 18). The Sixty thousand sons born to Sagara by Sumati were reduced to ashes in the fire which emanated from the eyes of Kapila. (See Kapila). When 础峁兣泆尘腻苍, the grandson of Sagara was going around the world to find out these 60,000 sons he met 骋补谤耻岣峚 on the way, and it was he who advised that the waters of 骋补峁単腻 should be brought down on earth so that the dead sons of Sagara might get spiritual redemption. (痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, B膩lak膩峁囜笉a, Chapter 41).

骋补谤耻岣峚鈥檚 conceit laid low.

A very beautiful daughter, 骋耻峁嘺办别艣墨, was born to 惭腻迟补濒颈, the charioteer of Indra. In the course of his search for a suitable husband for 骋耻峁嘺办别艣墨 he came to 笔腻迟腻濒补濒辞办补 in the company of 狈腻谤补诲补, and there 惭腻迟补濒颈 selected a noble 苍腻驳补 called Sumukha as his prospective son-in-law. But a month before 骋补谤耻岣峚 had eaten Sumukha鈥檚 father Cikara, and he had also given notice to Sumukha that within a month鈥檚 time he too would be eaten.

狈腻谤补诲补 and 惭腻迟补濒颈 met Sumukha at the abode of his grandfather 膧谤测补办补, who was very glad to marry his grandson to 惭腻迟补濒颈鈥檚 daughter. But, the threat of 骋补谤耻岣峚 that he would eat Sumukha before the month was over stared them all cruelly in their face. So, they appealed to Indra for a solution to the problem, in the presence of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. Indra gave an extension of life to Sumukha and he wedded 骋耻峁嘺办别艣墨. The marriage enraged 骋补谤耻岣峚 so much that he went to Indra鈥檚 assembly and insulted both Indra and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 at which 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 extended his right hand to 骋补谤耻岣峚 asking him whether he could hold the hand. And, when 骋补谤耻岣峚 placed 痴颈峁ａ箛耻鈥檚 hand on his head he felt as if the whole weight of the three worlds was put on the head. 骋补谤耻岣峚 admitted his defeat. 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 thus laid low the conceit of 骋补谤耻岣峚. (Udyoga Parva, Chapter 105).

骋补谤耻岣峚 helped 骋腻濒补惫补.

骋腻濒补惫补 was a disciple of 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补. Once Dharmadeva, to test 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补, went to his 腻艣谤补尘补 disguised as 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补 and asked for food. As there was no ready-made food at the 腻艣谤补尘补 just then, 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 naturally took some time to cook new food, and he went with it, steaming hot, in a plate to the guest. Saying that he would return within minutes and receive the food, the guest (Dharmadeva) left the place, and 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 stood there with the plate in hand awaiting the return of the guest. He had to remain standing thus for one hundred years, and during this whole period it was 骋腻濒补惫补 who stood there looking after his guru. When hundred years were completed Dharmadeva returned to 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 and accepted his hospitality, and then only could the latter take some rest.

痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 blessed 骋腻濒补惫补, and now it was time for him to leave the 腻艣谤补尘补. Though 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 told that no 驳耻谤耻诲补办峁�i峁嚹� (tuition fee) was required 骋腻濒补惫补 persisted in asking him what fee or present he wanted. 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 lost his temper and told 骋腻濒补惫补 that if he was so very particular about 驳耻谤耻诲补办峁�i峁嚹�, eight hundred horses all having the colour of moon, and one ear black in colour might be given as 诲补办峁�i峁嚹�. 骋腻濒补惫补 stood there aghast at the above pronouncement of his preceptor, when 骋补谤耻岣峚 happened to go over there and hear from 骋腻濒补惫补 about his sad plight. Money was required to purchase horses, but 骋腻濒补惫补 was penniless. At any rate 骋补谤耻岣峚 with 骋腻濒补惫补 on his back flew eastwards and reached 峁氠梗补产丑补辫补谤惫补迟补 and they rested on a peak of it. There the 叠谤补丑尘腻 woman, 艢腻峁囜笉颈濒墨 was engaged in tapas and she served them with food. After food 骋补谤耻岣峚 spoke disparagingly about 艢腻峁囜笉颈濒墨. 骋补谤耻岣峚 and 骋腻濒补惫补 slept that night on the floor, but when they woke up in the morning lo! 骋补谤耻岣峚 was completely shed of his feathers. 骋补谤耻岣峚 stood before 艢腻峁囜笉颈濒墨, his head bent in anguish. 艢腻峁囜笉颈濒墨 blessed 骋补谤耻岣峚, who then got back his old feathers.

Continuing their journey 骋补谤耻岣峚 and 骋腻濒补惫补 reached the palace of the very rich King, 驰补测腻迟颈. 骋补谤耻岣峚 introduced 骋腻濒补惫补 to 驰补测腻迟颈, who found it difficult to get 800 horses for 骋腻濒补惫补. But, 驰补测腻迟颈 gave his daughter 惭腻诲丑补惫墨 to 骋腻濒补惫补 saying that he might give her to any King and get money enough to purchase 800 horses. After thus showing the means to get money to 骋腻濒补惫补, 骋补谤耻岣峚 returned home.

骋腻濒补惫补 gave 惭腻诲丑补惫墨 first to King 贬补谤测补艣惫补 of 础测辞诲丑测腻, then to King 顿颈惫辞诲腻蝉补 of 碍腻艣墨 and next to King 鲍艣墨苍补谤补 of Bhoja and got from them two hundred horses each, and he submitted the horses and also 惭腻诲丑补惫墨 in lieu of the balance of two hundred horses to 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 as 诲补办峁�i峁嚹�. A son called 础峁ａ弓补办补 was born to 痴颈艣惫腻尘颈迟谤补 by 惭腻诲丑补惫墨, who had been granted a boon that she would not lose her youth and beauty even though she lived with any number of people. (Udyoga-Parva Chapter 108).

Fight between 骋补谤耻岣峚 and 础颈谤腻惫补迟补.

艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 once went to Devaloka and plucked the 笔腻谤颈箩腻迟补 flower from the garden Nandana, and this led to a fight between Indra and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 in which 骋补谤耻岣峚 also joined. 骋补谤耻岣峚 directed his main attention on 础颈谤腻惫补迟补 which, at his blows, fainted and fell down. (贬补谤颈惫补峁兣沘, Chapter 73).

Defeated by 痴腻蝉耻办颈.

To churn the Milk-Ocean the Devas and Asuras decided to use Mount Mandara as the shaft and 痴腻蝉耻办颈 as the rope to rotate the shaft. The attempts of the Devas, the Asuras and the 叠丑奴迟补驳补峁嘺蝉 of 艢颈惫补 failed to uproot and bring with them the mountain, when 骋补谤耻岣峚, at the instance of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 brought the mountain as easily as a kite carries a frog. Again, when others failed to bring 痴腻蝉耻办颈 from 苍腻驳补loka 骋补谤耻岣峚 went and asked the 苍腻驳补 chief to follow him to the ocean of Milk. 痴腻蝉耻办颈 replied that if his presence was so indispensable he must be carried over there. Then 骋补谤耻岣峚 caught the middle part of 痴腻蝉耻办颈 in his beak and rose in the air. But, even though 骋补谤耻岣峚 rose beyond the horizon, when he looked down half of 痴腻蝉耻办颈 still remained on the ground. 骋补谤耻岣峚 then tried to fold 痴腻蝉耻办颈 into two and carry it, but, again to no purpose. Disappointed and humiliated 骋补谤耻岣峚 returned without 痴腻蝉耻办颈. Afterwards 痴腻蝉耻办颈 was brought to the ocean of Milk by 艢颈惫补鈥檚 hand stretched down into 笔腻迟腻濒补. (Kamba 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, Yuddha 碍腻峁囜笉补).

叠丑墨尘补 went in search of the Saugandhika flower on account of 骋补谤耻岣峚.

While, in the course of their exile in the forest, the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 were put up at the 腻艣谤补尘补 of 尘补丑补谤峁�i 膧谤峁ａ弓颈峁�e峁嘺, 骋补谤耻岣峚 picked up from the depths of the sea one day a 苍腻驳补 called 峁歞dhim膩n, and due to the vibration caused by the lashing of 骋补谤耻岣峚鈥檚 wings Kalh膩ra flowers from the garden of Kubera were flown to the feet of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨. She wore the fragrant flowers in her hair saying that if she were to have good flowers, wind had to bring them. Since there was a mild and veiled insinuation in that statement that 叠丑墨尘补 was inferior to the wind the former did not appreciate that comment by 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨. And so he rushed to Mount 骋补苍诲丑补尘腻诲补苍补 to collect Kalh膩ra flowers. (Vana Parva, Chapter 106).

骋补谤耻岣峚 saved Uparicaravasu.

Once a controversy started between the Devas and the brahmins, the former advocating the use of goat鈥檚 flesh in performing 测补箩帽补s while the brahmins contended that grains were sufficient for the purpose. Uparicaravasu, who arbitrated in the debate spoke in favour of the Devas, which the brahmins did not like, and they cursed Vasu to fall from the sky into the pits of the earth. This curse was countered by the Devas blessing him that as long as Uparicaravasu remained on earth he would not feel hungry and that he would regain his old form due to the blessings of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. Vasu prayed to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, who sent 骋补谤耻岣峚 to the former, and 骋补谤耻岣峚 carried Vasu to the sky on his wings. Thus Vasu became again Uparicaravasu. (艢腻苍迟颈 Parva, Chapter 338).
