23. 艢颈惫补鈥檚 incarnation as 贬补苍奴尘腻苍
The 艢颈惫补 Pur膩峁嘺 describes that 艢颈惫补 once saw 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 in the form of an enchantress with glittering qualities. As if hit by the arrows of Cupid, 艢颈惫补 let his semen fall, dislodged from its seat. The seven celestial sages retained that semen in a leaf and poured that through the ears of 础帽箩补苍颈, the daughter of Gautama. After sometime 艢颈惫补 was born of it in the form of a monkey named 贬补苍奴尘腻苍. From childhood, 贬补苍奴尘腻苍 was very powerful and he burnt the 尝补峁卥腻 city of 搁腻惫补峁嘺. He is the incarnation of 艢颈惫补. He is the uplifter of devotees.[1]
