Thus Sudarsana, with his wife and his father-in-law, praised Devi. Yudhajit mocked Her, upon which Devi promptly reduced Yudhajit and his army to ashes. Devi helped Sudarsana and his father-in-law.
King Yudhajit, who had been present at the function, began to fight with the king of Benares. The ceremony at which the princess was to choose her spouse was arranged. The emissaries of the king of Benares passed through the Ashram of the Rishi and, when they saw the noble prince Sudarsana, they recommended him to Princess Sashikala, the daughter of the king of Benares. Devi appeared to him, blessed him and granted him divine weapons and an inexhaustible quiver. The Prince obtained peace of mind and the Grace of the Divine Mother by the repeated utterance of this syllable. It is the Bija Akshara (root syllable) of the Divine Mother. This syllable happened to be a powerful, sacred Mantra. The prince caught the first syllable Kli and began to pronounce it as Kleem. A hermit’s son came one day and called the eunuch by his Sanskrit name Kleeba. Yudhajit returned to his capital.įortune smiled on Prince Sudarsana. But, his minister told him about the truth of the Rishi’s statement. The Rishi said that he would not give up those who had sought protection under him. He then went out in search of Manorama and her son. The victor, King Yudhajit, thereupon crowned his grandson, Satrujit, at Ayodhya, the capital of Kosala. They took refuge in the hermitage of Rishi Bharadwaja. Manorama fled to the forest with Prince Sudarsana and a eunuch. But, King Yudhajit of Ujjain, the father of Queen Lilavati, and King Virasena of Kalinga, the father of Queen Manorama, were each desirous of securing the Kosala throne for their respective grandsons. Preparations were made to crown the prince Sudarsana. In days long gone by, King Dhruvasindu was killed by a lion when he went out hunting.
