Daughter of a King of 碍腻艣墨.

础尘产腻 and 痴颈肠颈迟谤补惫墨谤测补.

础尘产腻 is an ill-starred character in the story of the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补. She had two younger sisters named 础尘产颈办腻 and 础尘产腻lik膩. 叠丑墨峁�m补, who had taken a vow to remain a bachelor for life, had once taken 础尘产腻, 础尘产颈办腻 and 础尘产腻lik膩, the three daughters of the King of 碍腻艣墨, to 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补. The circumstances in which this happened, are descried in Dev墨 Bh膩gavata, Prathama Skandha as follows: 艢补苍迟补苍耻, a King of the Candra Va峁兣沘, had two wives, 骋补峁単腻 and 厂补迟测补惫补迟墨. 叠丑墨峁�m补 was the son of 骋补峁単腻 and 颁颈迟谤腻峁単补诲补 and 痴颈肠颈迟谤补惫墨谤测补 were the sons of 厂补迟测补惫补迟墨. Soon after 叠丑墨峁�m补鈥檚 birth, 骋补峁単腻 vanished. After a long period of reign, 艢补苍迟补苍耻 also died. 厂补迟测补惫补迟墨 and the three sons were left behind in the palace. According to a vow he had taken long ago, 叠丑墨峁�m补, instead of succeeding to his father鈥檚 throne, left it to his brother 颁颈迟谤腻峁単补诲补. Once 颁颈迟谤腻峁単补诲补 went for hunting in the forest. There he came across a Gandharva named 颁颈迟谤腻峁単补诲补. The Gandharva did not like another man with his own name to be living in this world. So he killed the king. After that 痴颈肠颈迟谤补惫墨谤测补 became king. 叠丑墨峁�m补 had to take up the task of arranging a suitable marriage for 痴颈肠颈迟谤补惫墨谤测补.

The 厂惫补测补峁僾补谤补.

It was at this time that 叠丑墨峁�m补 came to know that the King of 碍腻艣墨 was arranging the 厂惫补测补峁僾补谤补 of his three daughters, 础尘产腻, 础尘产颈办腻 and 础尘产腻lik膩. 叠丑墨峁�m补 went there and in the presence of all the kings who had assembled there, took the three princesses with him to 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补. There he made all preparations for the marriage. But as the time for the ceremony approached, the eldest and most beautiful of the princesses, 础尘产腻 went to 叠丑墨峁�m补 and said: "I had already made up my mind long ago to marry 厂腻濒惫补, the King. Besides, we are deeply in love with each other. Therefore, please consider whether it is proper on the part of a great man like you to force me into another marriage."

On hearing this, 叠丑墨峁�m补 allowed her to do as she liked. 础尘产腻 then went to King 厂腻濒惫补 and made an appeal to him to accept her as his wife since they were mutually in love.

厂腻濒惫补鈥檚 rejection.

To her words 厂腻濒惫补 replied: "What you have said about our mutual love is true. But it is not right for a man to accept a woman who has been accepted by another. I saw 叠丑墨峁�m补 taking you by hand and helping you into his chariot. Therefore go at once to 叠丑墨峁�m补 himself and ask him to accept you." Stunned by his words, she turned away, to go to the forest to do penance.

Revenge on 叠丑墨峁�m补.

In the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, Udyoga Parva, Chapter 17, we find that 础尘产腻 had cherished a secret desire to wreak vengeance on 叠丑墨峁�m补. She went to the 膧艣谤补尘补 of 艢aikh膩vatya Muni in the forest and stayed there for the night. Her wish to do penance was approved by the Muni. On the next day, 础尘产腻鈥檚 maternal grandfather, Hotrav膩hana (厂峁浢眏补测补) came that way. Hotrav膩hana came to know of all her misfortunes. He advised her to inform 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补 of all her grievances. Just at that moment 础办峁泃补惫谤补峁嘺, a follower of 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补 happened to come there. Hotrav膩hana introduced 础尘产腻 to 础办峁泃补惫谤补峁嘺. Both 础办峁泃补惫谤补峁嘺 and 厂峁浢眏补测补 explained all her affairs to 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补. 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补 undertook to persuade 叠丑墨峁�m补 to accept 础尘产腻 (as his wife). But 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补鈥檚 proposal was turned down by 叠丑墨峁�m补. A terrible duel took place between them at 碍耻谤耻办峁�e迟谤补. When the fight reached a critical stage, 狈腻谤补诲补 and the gods induced 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补 to withdraw from the duel. Thus the fight ended with equal victory to both. Finding that it was not possible to achieve her object through 笔补谤补艣耻谤腻尘补鈥檚 mediation, 础尘产腻 renounced food, sleep etc. and went to the 驰补尘耻苍腻 valley to do penance for six years. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, Udyoga Parva, Chapter 188). After that for one year she went on a fast, lying under the water in the river 驰补尘耻苍腻. Again for another year she did penance, standing on the tip of the toes and eating only dry leaves. Next, she reduced the sky and earth to flames by doing penance. The goddess 骋补峁単腻 appeared to her and when she understood her plight, she told 础尘产腻 that it was not possible to kill 叠丑墨峁�m补. In her agony and despair, without even drinking water, she wandered about here and there. The goddess Gang膩 cursed her to become a river in the Vatsa country. As a result of the curse, a part of her was turned into the river known as 础尘产腻.

艢颈惫补鈥檚 Boon.

The remaining part of her engaged itself in penance. 艢颈惫补 appeared to her and told her that in the next birth she would attain masculinity. He added that she would be born in the Drupada dynasty as a great archer under the name of Citrayodhi and kill 叠丑墨峁�m补. Pleased with this prophecy, she took a vow that she would kill 叠丑墨峁�m补 and making a pyre, burnt herself to death.

Rebirth.

King Drupada鈥檚 queen had been in great distress for a long time because she had no children. Drupada propitiated 艢颈惫补 by worshipping him for an issue. 艢颈惫补 blessed him and said that a girl would be born to him, but she would be transformed into a boy. In due course, the queen gave birth to a girl, but it was announced that it was a boy. Therefore the child had to be brought up, dressed like a boy. The child became famous under the name of 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨. When 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 attained youth, Drupada decided to look for a wife for him (her?). Still he was greatly perplexed as to how to find a wife for 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 who was already a youthful virgin! But his wife assured Drupada that 厂颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 would become a man, according to 艢颈惫补鈥檚 blessing. So, Drupada made a proposal for 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨鈥檚 marriage with the daughter of the King of 顿补艣腻谤峁嘺.

艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨鈥檚 Marriage.

Hira峁噛avar峁嘺, the King of 顿补艣腻谤峁嘺, gave his daughter in marriage to 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨. The couple arrived at K膩mbalyapura. By this time the wife came to know that the "husband" was a woman. She disclosed the secret to her Ladies-in-waiting. They in turn communicated it to the king. Enraged at this, Hira峁噛avar峁嘺 sent a messenger to King Drupada to ascertain the truth of the matter. He even began to make preparations for waging a war against Drupada, King of 笔补帽肠腻濒补. Drupada and his queen were in a fix. At this stage the distressed 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 proceeded to the forest, determined to commit suicide. People were afraid of entering that forest because a 驰补办峁�a named Sth奴峁嘺kar峁嘺 lived there. 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 went to the premises of the 驰补办峁�a and performed certain rites for a number of days. The 驰补办峁�a appeared to her. 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 explained the whole matter to him. They entered into a contract. According to it, they exchanged their sexes鈥斉毦卑斐蟛贯箛岣嵞� receiving the male sex of the 驰补办峁�a and the 驰补办峁�a receiving the female sex of 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨. 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 returned home as a man. Drupada repeated with greater force his old plea that his child was a man. Hira峁噛avar峁嘺 made a thorough examination of 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 and convinced himself of the truth. Many years after, Hira峁噛avar峁嘺 died.

Kubera鈥檚 Arrival.

At that time, in the course of his world tour Kubera arrived at the residence of Sth奴峁嘺kar峁嘺. The 驰补办峁�a who was in female form, did not come out to receive Kubera. In his anger, Kubera pronounced a curse that the female sex of Sth奴峁嘺kar峁嘺 and the male sex of 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 would continue for ever. The 驰补办峁�a prayed for the lifting of the curse. Kubera released him from the curse by saying that after the death of 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨, the 驰补办峁�a would be restored to his own male sex.

According to the previous agreement, 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 went to Sth奴峁嘺kar峁嘺鈥檚 place after the death of Hira峁噛avar峁嘺. But coming to know of all that had happened, he returned home. Thus 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 became a man permanently. 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 had received his training in arms under 顿谤辞峁嚹乧腻谤测补. In the great Kaurava-笔腻峁囜笉补惫补 battle, he became a charioteer.

艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨鈥檚 Revenge.

The 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 叠丑墨峁�m补 Parva, Chapter 108, describes 叠丑墨峁�m补鈥檚 encounter with 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 during the Kaurava-笔腻峁囜笉补惫补 battle. The 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补s started the day鈥檚 battle by keeping 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 in the vanguard. 叠丑墨尘补, Arjuna, Abhimanyu and other warriors were giving him support. It was 叠丑墨峁�m补 who led the Kaurava forces. Arrows began to fly from both sides. It was the tenth day of the battle and 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 shot three arrows aimed at 叠丑墨峁�m补鈥檚 breast. 叠丑墨峁�m补 with a smile of contempt said to 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨, "艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨! 叠谤补丑尘腻 created you as a woman. You may do as you like". Hearing this taunt, 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 became more infuriated. Arjuna inspired him with greater courage. After that, keeping 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 in front, Arjuna began to fight with 叠丑墨峁�m补. 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 also showered his arrows on him. Ten of these arrows of 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 hit 叠丑墨峁�m补鈥檚 breast. 叠丑墨峁�m补 disregarded even those arrows. At last he said: "I cannot kill the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补s because they are invulnerable (avadhy膩岣�). I cannot kill 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 because he is really a woman and not man. Though I am also invulnerable and cannot be killed in battle, yet today I have to die; the time has come for me to die." Meanwhile 艢颈办丑补峁囜笉墨 and Arjuna were discharging a continuous and heavy shower of arrows at 叠丑墨峁�m补. At last 叠丑墨峁�m补 fell down. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, Udyoga Parva, Chapter 173).
