A very famous sage of the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉.

Birth.

狈腻谤补诲补 was the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻, born from his lap. 叠谤补丑尘腻 mentally created the famous 蝉补辫迟补谤峁�i蝉, 惭补谤墨肠颈, 础峁単颈谤补蝉, Atri, Pulastya, 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补, Pulaha and Kratu. From 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 anger was born Rudra, from his lap 狈腻谤补诲补, from his right thumb 顿补办峁�a, from his mind Sanaka and others and from his left thumb a daughter called 痴墨谤补峁嚹�. 顿补办峁�a wedded 痴墨谤补峁嚹�. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 5th Skandha).

Various births of 狈腻谤补诲补.

The 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 refer to more than seven prominent births of 狈腻谤补诲补. He was first born as the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻, and after that, on account of 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 curse he was born as the Gandharva called 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺. Following that he was born as the son of emperor Drumila and was named 狈腻谤补诲补. Again born as the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻 under the name 狈腻谤补诲补, he married 惭腻濒补迟墨 and ended his life as a monkey. He was again born as the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻 and was cursed by 顿补办峁�a. Afterwards he was born as the son of 顿补办峁�a and also as a worm. All these births did not occur in one and the same Manvantara. 狈腻谤补诲补 may be noticed doing something or other in connection with the various characters in the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉. There is no other character in the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 occupying so popular a place in them as 狈腻谤补诲补. The important five births of 狈腻谤补诲补 are described below.

(i) The Gandharva called 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺. 狈腻谤补诲补 born from the lap of 叠谤补丑尘腻 desired to remain a celibate. But, 叠谤补丑尘腻 suggested that he should assume responsibility for procreation as his (叠谤补丑尘腻's) other sons like 惭补谤墨肠颈 and Sanaka had already become celibates. 狈腻谤补诲补 did not accept this suggestion of 叠谤补丑尘腻 at which the latter got angry and cursed 狈腻谤补诲补 to lose his knowledge and to marry fifty beautiful women. 叠谤补丑尘腻 continued:鈥�"You will be born as a Gandharva known as 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 and will become a great musician. You will be unrivalled in the handling of the 痴墨峁嚹�. After your death as the Gandharva you will be born as the son of a servant woman, and as such you will be a great devotee of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Afterwards you will be born as my son when I will impart knowledge to you."

There was a Gandharva called Citraketu, who performed penance on the banks of the 笔耻峁�k补谤补 lake to propitiate 艢颈惫补 for a child. 艢颈惫补 appeared and blessed Citraketu to the effect that 狈腻谤补诲补, the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻, would be born as his son. Accordingly the wife of Citraketu delivered a son whom the family priest named 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺. The boy grew up as a devotee of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 taught him the worship of Hari (痴颈峁ａ箛耻). 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 lived on the slopes of the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 performing penance. While 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 was one day engaged in 厂补尘腻诲丑颈 fifty daughters of the Gandharva called Citraratha passed that way, and they fell in love with 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺, who was in 厂补尘腻诲丑颈. He awoke from 厂补尘腻诲丑颈 on hearing the melodious songs of the fifty damsels who stood there with palms joined in reverence. 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 too fell in love with them, and he married all the fifty girls. He returned with them to the palace and lived there for thousands of years. Once the Gandharvas and the Apsaras were invited to sing the story of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 in Brahmaloka. 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 accompanied them. He became lustful towards 搁补尘产丑腻. The 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈蝉, who noticed it got angry, and 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 well-nigh dead due to their curse returned home. He told his wives all that had happened to him. He spread a darbha grass on the ground and lay on it and died. 惭腻濒补迟墨, the eldest of his wives, got ready to curse 叠谤补丑尘腻, Yama and 惭峁泃测耻. In great consternation they sought refuge under 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, who comforted and sent them back to 惭腻濒补迟墨. They saluted her. Then a brahmin, who went there questioned 叠谤补丑尘腻 about the death of 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺. The brahmin told him that, according to previous decision, life for another thousand years remained for 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺, but he died in the meantime on account of the curse of 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈. Immediately the brahmin assumed the form of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. The brahmin blessed 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 who woke up from death rubbing his eyes. He lived happily at home with his wives. He was blessed with children and grandchildren. Knowing that his end was near 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 and 惭腻濒补迟墨 spent their time in austerities on the banks of the 骋补峁単腻. At last 鲍辫补产补谤丑补峁嘺 expired, and 惭腻濒补迟墨 ended her life in his funeral pyre. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 7th Skandha).

(ii) Son of 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨. There lived in 碍腻苍测补办耻产箩补 the emperor called Drumila. He, along with his wife 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨, performed penance on theb anks of the 骋补峁単腻 for an offspring. 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨 pleased 碍补艣测补辫补, by her worship and with his blessing she became pregnant. Drumila, who in the meantime had renounced everything in life, decided to spend the rest of his life in the forest itself. He gifted away all his wealth to brahmins and died in the forest. Though 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨 got ready to follow him in the funeral pyre, a celestial voice stopped her and she refrained from committing self-immolation. She returned to the village and lived as a slave in a brahmin鈥檚 house. In due course of time she delivered a son. On the birth of the child it rained in the land which was suffering from failure of rains, and because of that the brahmin master of 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨 named the child 狈腻谤补诲补, meaning he who gives water. When the child 狈腻谤补诲补 grew up he told his mother the story about his former birth. He turned out to be a great devotee of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Meanwhile, 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨, who went to milk the cow one night, was bitten to death by a snake, and 狈腻谤补诲补 was orphaned. 艢颈惫补 and three attendants of his who went there in disguise were pleased at 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 great devotion for 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and his service-mentality. He lived on the left-overs given by them. He repeated songs sung by them about 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Gradually 狈腻谤补诲补 became perfect devotee of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and a unique master of music. 艢颈惫补 and others imparted 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 to 狈腻谤补诲补 before they left him. 狈腻谤补诲补 who thus attained divine knowledge performed penance for many years on the banks of the 骋补峁単腻 and died there. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 7th Skandha).

(iii) Birth as Kapi (Monkey). 狈腻谤补诲补, who expired on the banks of the 骋补峁単腻 was again born as the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻. Though the father wanted the son to get married the latter preferred to spend his days in the meditation on God. 叠谤补丑尘腻 then told his son as follows:鈥�"Why are you so much afraid of the house-holder鈥檚 life? Many people have attained salvation by following the four 腻艣谤补尘补蝉 (stages in life) like that of the celibate, the house-holder, the anchorite and the sanny膩sin. In fact, only such people will be able to serve man and God. A girl named 惭腻濒补迟墨 alias 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 is born to 尘补丑补谤峁�i 厂补帽箩补测补, and 艢颈惫补 has granted her the boon that in this birth you will become her husband. You, therefore, go to 狈补谤补苍腻谤腻测补峁嘺蝉 engaged in penance on the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉. They will give 惭腻濒补迟墨 in marriage to you."

Accordingly 狈腻谤补诲补 went to 叠补诲补谤颈办腻艣谤补尘补 where in the presence of 狈补谤补苍腻谤腻测补峁嘺蝉 he married 惭腻濒补迟墨.

During those days 狈腻谤补诲补 and sage Parvata started on a pilgrimage in the course of which they went to the palace of emperor 厂补帽箩补测补 to observe 颁腻迟耻谤尘腻蝉测补. The emperor left a well-furnished house at the disposal of the pilgrims. He also deputed his daughter 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 to serve them. The humble service of 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 pleased them both. But, 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨鈥檚 devotion towards 狈腻谤补诲补 was more ardent and both of them noticed this fact. One day Parvata asked 狈腻谤补诲补 whether 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 did not take a special interest in him (狈腻谤补诲补) and to this 狈腻谤补诲补 answered 'Yes, I too think so{??}. Parvata got angry at this answer of 狈腻谤补诲补 and told him thus: "We had agreed at the time when we started on this tour to divulge all secrets to each other Now you have broken that contract. Why did you not tell me about 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨鈥檚 partiality for you? You become, therefore, a monkey". 狈腻谤补诲补, in turn, cursed Parvata as follows: "You will live in hell in Yamaloka for a hundred years."

Accordingly 狈腻谤补诲补 became a monkey and Parvata lived in hell. At this juncture 厂补帽箩补测补鈥檚 ministers advised him to marry his daughter to a prince, and the news made her very sad. 厂补帽箩补测补 understood the reason for his daughter鈥檚 sadness from her nurse. The father had ultimately to yield to her wishes and 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 married 狈腻谤补诲补, who had been turned into a monkey. Hundred years rolled by, and Parvata, the period of his curse being over, returned to the palace of 厂补帽箩补测补. 狈腻谤补诲补 treated Parvata duly well, and pleased at the treatment, he gave redemption to 狈腻谤补诲补 from the curse. 狈腻谤补诲补 lived very happily with 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 for a long time at the palace, and after the demise of 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨 he attained Brahmaloka. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 7th Skandha).

(iv) Born as 顿补办峁�a鈥檚 son. After the creation of the Devas was over, 叠谤补丑尘腻 called 顿补办峁�a to him and asked him to marry 痴墨谤补峁嚹� and procreate, and 顿补办峁�a accordingly begot five thousand sons of 痴墨谤补峁嚹�. They were called 贬补谤测补艣惫补蝉 Finding that the 贬补谤测补艣惫补蝉 also were interested in the procreation of children 狈腻谤补诲补, the 顿别惫补谤峁�i, approached and told them as follows:鈥�"Oh! 贬补谤测补艣惫补蝉! You who are exceptionally vital people seem to be trying to procreate children. But, you have not enquired as to whether there is enough space on earth for such large numbers of people. You are just like children who know nothing about the world. How will you procreate people? Since you could live absolutely free in the sky, why do you not find out the limit of the earth?"

The 贬补谤测补艣惫补蝉 thereupon ran away in different places to find out the limit of the earth, and they have not, like the rivers which entered the ocean, returned yet.

At the loss of the 贬补谤测补艣惫补蝉 in the above manner, 顿补办峁�a created the 艢补产补濒腻艣惫补蝉, whom also 狈腻谤补诲补 sent away to various parts of the earth. 顿补办峁�a again created five thousand people whom also 狈腻谤补诲补 drove away in the above manner. Angry and sad at this, 顿补办峁�a cursed 狈腻谤补诲补 thus:鈥�"Well, 狈腻谤补诲补! my children roam about like this because of you. Therefore, you too in future will be roaming about without a permanent abode. Moreover, you will have rebirth as my son."

狈腻谤补诲补 became a world-trotter on account of the above curse of 顿补办峁�a. He was also reborn as the son of 顿补办峁�a. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 7th Skandha and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Part 1, Chapter 15).

(v) Born as a worm. There is a story about 狈腻谤补诲补 being born as a worm. On the approach of a chariot the worm moved quickly away from its route lest its wheel should crush it to death. The King seated in the chariot burst out into laughter at the above sight when the worm told him as follows:鈥�"There is nothing to be laughed at in my action. In every birth the body is much dear to the 腻迟尘补苍 (soul). Just as you love your body I also love and protect my body. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补).

痴颈峁ａ箛耻 showed 狈腻谤补诲补 the function of 惭腻测腻.

See under T膩ladhvaja I

狈腻谤补诲补 became a woman.

While staying once with 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 at 顿惫腻谤补办腻, 狈腻谤补诲补 and the former went out on a tour in an aerial chariot. On the way they saw a stream and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 stopped the chariot there as 狈腻谤补诲补 wanted to quench his thirst at the stream. 狈腻谤补诲补 drank water from the stream disobeying 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 injunction that he should bathe before drinking water, and lo! the next moment 狈腻谤补诲补 was turned into a woman and when 'she' looked around neither 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 nor the chariot was to be seen. She wandered about in the forest and at last reached an 腻艣谤补尘补. When the 峁氠梗i of the 腻艣谤补尘补 awoke from his sam膩dhi he saw standing before him a beautiful woman who requested him to accept her as his disciple. He readily granted her request. The preceptor married the disciple and in due course of time she became the mother of sixty children. One day all the sixty children and their father expired together. The grief-stricken widow felt too weak to perform the obsequies of the dead. An extraordinary hunger also held her in its grips. She raised her hand to pluck a fruit from the mango tree that stood nearby but could not reach the mango above. She placed together the corpses one on the other, mounted upon the heap of dead bodies and plucked the mango-fruit Immediately a brahmin arrived on the spot and exhorted the widow on the impropriety of taking food without bathing after the death of husband and children. Then the widow entered the stream and dived in its waters holding above water the hand in which was held the mango, and lo! it was 狈腻谤补诲补 who came out from the water. Only the hand, which had been held above water and did not therefore get wet, remained like that of a woman with bangles thereon. The brahmin, who stood there on the banks of the stream transformed himself into 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. As ordered by 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 狈腻谤补诲补 again dived with the whole of his body in the water when the hand also turned into that of a man. The mango held in the hand turned into an excellent 痴墨峁嚹�. And 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 told 狈腻谤补诲补: "The 峁氠梗i who lived with you as your husband and who is no more is 碍腻濒补辫耻谤耻峁�a, and the sixty children are years Prabhava, Vibhava etc.

碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and 狈腻谤补诲补 then returned to 顿惫腻谤补办腻. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补. 7th Skandha).

狈腻谤补诲补 met the woman called Bhakti.

When Kalik膩la held the earth in its grips 狈腻谤补诲补, on a particular occasion, went round the world viewing the evils of Kali, and he saw a young woman immersed in grief sitting on the banks of the 驰补尘耻苍腻, the sports field of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. On both sides of her two old men were breathing in an unconscious state, and the woman, weeping was trying to restore them to consciousness. Many other women were fanning the unconscious men and trying to comfort the woman. 狈腻谤补诲补 approached the young woman when she spoke to him as follows: 'Oh! great sage, please put an end to my grief, because your words will remove all grief. I am called Bhakti and these two old men are my sons, one of whom is known as 闯帽腻苍补 (knowledge) and the other 痴补颈谤腻驳测补 (renunciation), and they have become old due to the impact of time. The others found here are sacred rivers, who have come to serve me. But, the service of nobody will do me good.

I was born in the 顿谤腻惫颈岣峚 region, grew up in 碍补谤峁嚹佱弓补办补, lived here and there in 惭补丑腻谤腻峁ａ弓谤补 and became old at Gujarat whereat, atheists due to the evil of Kali inflicted wounds on me for a long time so that I became very weak. I did then go with my sons to the worshipful 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 where I regained my old form and became a young woman in the shape of a ghost. My children suffer here in an unconscious state and I have to leave this for another place. I am so very sad that my sons have become old. Why did I become a young woman when my sons were old people? We three were touring together, and how then did this difference arise with regard to us? Is it not the proper thing for the mother to be older, and her children younger? You will please explain the reason for all these."

狈腻谤补诲补 read out the Vedas and the 痴别诲腻峁単补蝉 to her, to no purpose. Then Sanaka, Sanandana, 厂补苍补迟办耻尘腻谤补, Sanatsuj膩ta and others (all of them the mental offsprings of 叠谤补丑尘腻 and gifted with eternal youth) asked 狈腻谤补诲补 to read out 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 to the sons of Bhakti. 狈腻谤补诲补 did so, and they became immediately young. (Padma 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Uttarakha峁囜笉a).

Tested 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺.

碍峁涐梗峁嘺 was living in 顿惫腻谤补办腻 with his 16008 wives. 狈腻谤补诲补 once wanted to know how 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 managed to maintain so many wives without any difficulty or quarrels among them. To test it he first went to the palace of 搁耻办尘颈峁嚹� where both 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and herself welcomed and treated him duly. 狈腻谤补诲补 next visited 厂补迟测补产丑腻尘腻鈥檚 house where also 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and herself welcomed and treated him well. In the houses of all the 16008 wives of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, 狈腻谤补诲补 had the same experience as above. He was wonder-struck at the divine powers of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and returned home praising 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 10th Skandha).

惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 put down 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 haughtiness.

狈腻谤补诲补 had been very proud about his greatness as a musician. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 decided to put an end to this conceit of 狈腻谤补诲补 for which purpose he took 狈腻谤补诲补 to a forest. There they saw many women, whose limbs had been cut, crying on account of insufferable pain. 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 asked the women who they were and why their limbs were cut. They answered 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 that they were 搁腻驳颈峁嚹玸, the presiding deities over the various tunes and that they were reduced to their present plight by the totally erroneous singing of the tunes by 狈腻谤补诲补.

狈腻谤补诲补 hung his head down in shame at the above answer of the women and he was cured of his conceit. (Adbhuta 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).

贬补苍奴尘腻苍 shamed 狈腻谤补诲补.

狈腻谤补诲补 once met 贬补苍奴尘腻苍, who sang a song for him. Enjoying the music 狈腻谤补诲补 placed his 痴墨峁嚹� on a rock which had been melted by the song of 贬补苍奴尘腻苍, and 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 痴墨峁嚹� sank into the melted rock. When the singing by 贬补苍奴尘腻苍 was over, the rock, as of old, became hard again and the 痴墨峁嚹� got stuck up with it. 贬补苍奴尘腻苍 asked 狈腻谤补诲补 to melt the rock again with a song of his and take away his 痴墨峁嚹�. 狈腻谤补诲补 sang and sang, all to no purpose. The rock did not melt again. Then 贬补苍奴尘腻苍 sang a song and the rock melted. After praising 贬补苍奴尘腻苍 狈腻谤补诲补 left the place ashamed. (Adbhuta 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).

艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 instructed 狈腻谤补诲补 about 惭腻测腻.

狈腻谤补诲补 once requested 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 to teach him about 惭腻测腻 (illusion) and 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 told him that he would be taught sometime later. Afterwards, one day while 狈腻谤补诲补 was walking about, it began to rain and he took shelter from the rain in a hut near at hand. There was a beautiful young woman in the hut and 狈腻谤补诲补 fell in love with her. 狈腻谤补诲补 lived with her for many years and a number of children were born to them. But, a flood washed the mother and children off into the sea, and 狈腻谤补诲补 was grief-stricken. Then 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 appeared there and asked 狈腻谤补诲补 whether he loved 惭腻测腻. 狈腻谤补诲补 confessed that he understood 惭腻测腻 very well and requested 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 to save him from attachments on account of 惭腻测腻.

狈腻谤补诲补 and 厂补苍补迟办耻尘腻谤补.

Once 狈腻谤补诲补 went to 厂补苍补迟办耻尘腻谤补 and requested him to instruct him in spiritual wisdom telling the latter that he had already learnt the Vedas and all other scriptures and arts. 厂补苍补迟办耻尘腻谤补 accordingly taught him about the perfect nature, without either beginning or end, of supreme bliss. He taught 狈腻谤补诲补 thus: "Everything is God. God exists in all animate and inanimate objects, and God is superior to everything." (Ch膩ndogyopani峁�ad).

Other information about 狈腻谤补诲补.

(1) Once 叠谤补丑尘腻 advised him sixteen names which would wash off all the evils of Kali, i.e. Hare 搁腻尘补 Hare 搁腻尘补 搁腻尘补 搁腻尘补 Hare Hare, Hare 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 Hare 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 Hare Hare. (Kalisantara峁噊pani峁�ad).

(2) It was 狈腻谤补诲补 who gave the impetus to 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 for the composition of 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺. Once 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 asked 狈腻谤补诲补, who had returned after a tour of the three worlds, who the greatest of men was. 狈腻谤补诲补 replied '艢r墨 搁腻尘补' and related to 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 a brief history of 搁腻尘补. 狈腻谤补诲补 departed from there and 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 went to the banks of the river 罢补尘补蝉腻. It was there that 痴腻濒尘墨办颈, at the sight of a hunter shooting down one of the 碍谤补耻帽肠补 birds, sang the famous verse 'M膩ni峁Ｄ乨a' etc. (See under 痴腻濒尘墨办颈).

(3) 狈腻谤补诲补 once went to Veda 痴测腻蝉补, who was very unhappy because he had no children. Questioned by 痴测腻蝉补 as to the means to have a son 狈腻谤补诲补 advised him to worship 笔补谤腻艣补办迟颈 (the supreme power). Accordingly 痴测腻蝉补 worshipped 笔补谤腻艣补办迟颈 at 碍补颈濒腻蝉补 and was gifted with the son 艢耻办补. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 1st Skandha),

(4) When once 狈腻谤补诲补 came to 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 playing on his 痴墨峁嚹� Lak峁�m墨dev墨 went bashfully into the inner apartment. In fact, she felt some love towards 狈腻谤补诲补 who asked 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 for the reason thereof. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 replied that none existed who had absolutely conquered 惭腻测腻 (illusion) and that Lak峁�m墨dev墨 felt love towards 狈腻谤补诲补 for a few moments because of the influence of 惭腻测腻. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 6th Skandha).

(5) Once Agastya kicked down mount Vindhya and 狈腻谤补诲补 had also a small share in it. Vindhya had risen above the path of the sun as 狈腻谤补诲补 told him querulously that the Sun was circling 惭补丑腻尘别谤耻 and was ignoring Vindhya. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 10th Skandha).

(8) It was 狈腻谤补诲补 who told 碍补峁僺补 that 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 was in 础尘产腻岣峣. He also told 碍补峁僺补 about his previous history. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 10th Skandha).

(9) V峁沰膩sura once asked 狈腻谤补诲补 who amongst the 罢谤颈尘奴谤迟颈蝉 used to be pleased most easily and 狈腻谤补诲补 mentioned 艢颈惫补. It was therefore that the asura performed penance to 艢颈惫补 and pleased him. (叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 10th Skandha).

(10) The following story occurs in the 痴腻测耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 as to how 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 痴墨峁嚹� became the musical instrument of the world. Once 狈腻谤补诲补 was in Indra鈥檚 court when the latter asked 鲍谤惫补艣墨 to give a dance performance. She did so and in the course of the dance saw Jayanta, son of Indra seated before her. She was swept over by a passion towards Jayanta as a result of which some mistakes were made by her in dancing. 狈腻谤补诲补, who was playing his 痴墨峁嚹� called 惭补丑补迟墨, also committed some mistakes. 狈腻谤补诲补 did so to attract the attention of the audience to 鲍谤惫补艣墨鈥檚 mistakes. Noticing the mistake Agastya, who too was present on the occasion, cursed 鲍谤惫补艣墨 to become a bamboo. He cursed that 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 痴墨峁嚹� should become the 痴墨峁嚹� of the world (痴腻测耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺).

(11) 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 curse was also one of the causes for 搁腻惫补峁嘺鈥檚 death. 搁腻惫补峁嘺 once requested 狈腻谤补诲补 to explain to him the meaning of 'Om', and when 狈腻谤补诲补 refused to oblige him he threatened to cut 狈腻谤补诲补鈥檚 tongue. 狈腻谤补诲补 in return cursed that the ten heads of 搁腻惫补峁嘺 would be cut. (Kamba 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, Yuddha 碍腻峁囜笉补).

(12) During one Kalpa, 狈腻谤补诲补 was born as a Devagandharva as the son of 碍补艣测补辫补 by his wife Muni. (膧di Parva, Chapter 1 and Svarg膩roha峁嘺 Parva, Chapter 5).

(13) On one occasion 狈腻谤补诲补 recited 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 which included three lakhs of 艣濒辞办补蝉. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 膧di Parva, Chapter 1; Svarg膩roha峁嘺 Parva, Chapter 5).
