Story of 碍补颈办补蝉墨
Mother of 搁腻惫补峁嘺.
Birth.
From the wrath of 叠谤补丑尘腻 the giant Praheti was born and from 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 hunger the demigod Heti was born. The son Vidyutke艣a was born to Heti, of 叠丑补测腻 the sister of 碍腻濒补 (God of death鈥擳ime). Vidyutke艣a married S膩laka峁璦峁卥膩 the daughter of 厂补苍诲丑测腻. A son named 厂耻办别艣补 was born to them. 厂耻办别艣补 married Devavat墨 daughter of Ma峁噄maya, a Gandharva. Three sons 惭腻濒测补惫腻苍, Sum膩l墨 and 惭腻濒墨 were born to them. The three brothers 惭腻濒测补惫腻苍, Sum膩l墨 and 惭腻濒墨 married 厂耻苍诲补谤墨, 碍别迟耻尘补迟墨 and 痴补蝉耻诲丑腻 respectively, the three daughters of 狈补谤尘补诲腻, a gandharva woman. To Sum膩l墨, by his wife 碍别迟耻尘补迟墨, were born the ten sons, Prahasta, Akampana, 痴颈办补峁璦, 碍腻濒补k膩mukha, 顿丑奴尘谤腻办峁, 顿补峁囜笉补, 厂耻辫腻谤艣惫补, 厂补峁僪谤腻诲补, Pr膩kv膩ta and Bh膩sakar峁嘺 and four daughters Vek膩 (B峁沨膩), 笔耻峁辞迟办补峁�, 碍补颈办补蝉墨 and 碍耻尘产丑墨苍补蝉墨.
Marriage.
As Sum膩l墨 was walking through forests with his wives and daughters, he saw so many 驰补办峁蝉 (demi-gods) going in planes to pay homage to 痴补颈艣谤补惫补峁嘺. Sum膩l墨 understood that 痴补颈艣谤补惫补峁嘺 became worthy of homage because he was the son of 痴颈艣谤补惫补蝉. So he took his daughter 碍补颈办补蝉墨 and left her in the house of 痴颈艣谤补惫补蝉. After a while, being pleased with her services, 痴颈艣谤补惫补蝉 took her as his wife. Once she requested her husband for children. Accordingly she got 搁腻惫补峁嘺, 碍耻尘产丑补办补谤峁嘺 and 痴颈产丑墨峁峁嘺 as sons.
