Uru begot on his wife Agneyi six highly efful- gent sons — Anga, Sumanas, Svati, Kratu, Angiras and Siva. And Anga begot on Suneetha one son named Vena. great sages, with a view to multiply his progeny, the Rishis rubbed his right hand. And from his arm sprang a famous king named Vainya, who was celebrated as Prithu for milking thc earth for the advantage of his subjects. Maitreya said, — "0 foremost of ascetics, do thou tell me why the right hand of Venawas rubbed by the great Rishis, in eonsequence of which the mighty and powerful Prithu was born. Parasara saii,— "Originally a daughter was born of Mritya named Suneetha. Anga, married her. And she gave birth to Vena. - Maitteya, being born from thc daughter of Mrityu, he in- herited the evil propensities of his grand father.

The Rishis said, — "0 'king, lord, do thou hear, what we speak unto thee, for then thy health as well as the interest of thy subjects shall be se- eure. We purpose to worship, for thy welfare, with protract- ed rites, Hari, the lord of the celestials and sacrifices. And thou shalt also be entitled to a share in it. If, king, with our sacrifices, the Iord of sacrifices is propitiated, he shall also satisrV all thy desires. In whose kingdom, king, Hari, the lord of sacrifices is worshipped with sacrifices, he confers on him, the satisfaction of all his dcsires. Vena said — "Who is there above me that, I even, shall have to worship him. Who is that person, who is known as Hari and whom ye do all con- sider as the lord of sacrifices ? Brahma, Janardana, Sambhu, Indra, Vayu, Jama, the Sun, Fire, Varuna, Dhata, Pusha, (the sun) Bhumi (earth) and the lord of earth (the moon) — these and all others who are capable of imprecating curses and con- ferring boons (oti mankind) do all exist in the personof a king fo'r the essence of a sovereign is all that is divine. twice born ones, understanding this full well, do ye all obey my commands — you should not make gifts or offer oblations unto any one (but me) and should not worship any body else. As to serve her own husband is the prime duty of a female, so it is incumbent upon you, twice-born ones, to satisfy my behests only." The Rishis said, — "Give us command, great king, to undertake sacrifices, so that piety may not suf- fer decrease. All this world is but the outcome of oblations,"* Parasara said,— "Being thus addressed by the great Rishis and requested by them often and often, Vena did not give them. Thereupon all the ascetics, being stricken with exces- sive ire, cried out "kill him !— kill this vicious weight ! He,

who vilifies our lord the sovereign of sacriíices, without begin* ning or end, is not worthy of the sovereignty of the earth." Saying this, the ascetics, slew that king, with the blades of Kusa grass, consecrated by prayer, who had already been destroyed by his impiety towards God. Thereupon those ascetics beheld dust on all sides and said to the .people who were nigh, '-What is this ?'i To which the people replied — "The kingdora is without a king and hence the robbers and thieves have engaged in their dishonest work of encroaching upon the property of others. And great asceties, thisfáust has been raised by those robbers hastening to seize other's property." Thereupon consulting with each Other those ascetics, intent upon creating a prince, began to rub the thigh of that childless monarch. The thigh being thus rubbed, there arose a being of the conplexion of a charred stake, with flattened features and of a dwarfish stature. And he speedly addressed all the ascetics there saying, "What shall I do ?" Whereto they replied— "Sit down" (Nishada) and thence his name was Nishada. foremost of ascetics, from this person, sprang a race callep Nishadas who inhabit the Vindya mountain and are characterised by the exterior tokens of depravity. By this means the wickedness of the king (Vena)was extracted and the Nishadas was thus born destroying Vena's son's. Thereupon those twice-born ones began to rub the right hand of Vena from which sprang the highly powerful son of Vena named Pritfiu resplendent in person and burning like the fire itself. Thereupon from the welkin fell down the original bow of Hara named Pinaka, and the celestisl arrow and the celestial armour. Prithu thus born, all the beings around were greatly delighted. And at the birth of that pious son, Vena too attained to the region of celestials and was delivered by that high-souled one from the hell named Pat. Thereupon the seas and rivers from all sides ceme there with holy water and pearls and gems of diverse kinds, for his inauguration on the throne,

The great parent of all, Brahma, with the celestials and the descendants of Angiras (the fires) and with all things, ani- mate or inatyraate, came there and performed the ceremony of consecrating the lord of people — the son of king of Vena. And beholding in his right .hand the mark of the discus of Vishr.u and' recognising a portion of that deity in Prithu the great parent attained to an excess of delight. For all those who become the sovereign kings of the earth, have always the mark of the discus of Vishnu in their hands. The highly powerful Prithu, the son of Vena, being thus invested with a mighty dominion, his power was unimpeded even in the region of the celestials. That highly effulgent one, being installed according to due rites, by these who were skilled in religious rites, those subjects even, who were disaffected in his father's regeme, became fully attached unto him. And in consequence of his attachment unto his subjects he was known all nver as "the king." The waters became solid when he traversed the deep; the mountains opened him a way and his banners were unbroken even when he passed through tlie forests. (In his time) the earth yeilded crops without cultivation ; people got their food without any thought— the king gave milk at any time and honey was stored in every flower. At the auspecious sacriiice which was performed at the birth of Prithu and which was headed by the great parent— the highly intelligent Suta was produced from the juice of the moon plant. And in that great sacrifice the highly intelligent Magadba was also born. Thereupon the Rishis accosted Suta and Mágadha saying :~"Do you sing the glory of this powerful king Prithu, the son of Vena. This is your special function and he is the fit object of your praise." Thereupon both of them, with folded hands, spoke unto the twíce-borr. ones saying-'This king is born to-day — his works or merits we are not cognizant of; nor his fame has spread abroad— tell us on what subject shall we base our praise ?"

Parasara said --"Hearing these words the king, was highly gratified and reflected, saying— "Persons (in this world) are eulogised for their various actions. And surely my virtuous actions shall be the theme of these bards. And whatever merits, they vvill relate in their panegyric, I will acquire with all my attention. And whatever faults they shalr recommend to be avoided I shall alwavs «hun." The kinc resolved thus. Tliereupon Snta and Ma^adha, 'wlth sweet-voiced discourses, sang the future virtues of the intelligent Prithu, the son of Vena.— "He «haH be truthfnl, cliaritable, observer of his promises, the lord of people, wise, ' henevolent, patient, valient and the supresser of the wicked ; pious, grateful, kind, sweet-spoken; shall always respect tbe venerable, perform sacrifices, respect the Brahmins and> , shall be alwavs recognised by the pious.
