BALA KANDA -Sarga-47

 

Dithi with great sorrow spoke to Indra, "Due to my fault my pregnancy had been

split into seven pieces, which is your great mistake. Please make sure my

children who are in my womb should get are salvaged. Make them rulers of seven

places. Grace them to become chief of seven lokas equivalent to Vayu. Obligingly

Indra allotted seven types of Vayu's at seven places. When Indra was in the body

of Dithi, he uttered 'marudah,' therefore seven vayu's were called Maaruthah.

Out of seven, one went to Bhrahmaloka, one went to Indraloka. In the galaxy one

spread out and rest of the four ruled four directions. Like that Dithi's request

of her sons to rule every where, was granted, with every one accepting them.

While spread out every where, vayu (air) is called with different names in

different places. Vayu himself, at particular points will be called by different

names as Gaganamu, Sparshanamu, Vayuvu, Anilamu, Praanamu, Praanaeshwarudu, and

Jeevudu. In Vishnu Purana, it was mentioned that, Vayuvu is called with seven

names as Aavhamu, Pravhamu, Somvahamu, Udhvahamu, Vivahamu, Parivahamu, and

Paraavahamu. This is the place where Indra assisted Dithi, told Vishvamitra by

narrating Indra's story and the relation to that place. Ikshwaku got a very

industrious son named Visala with Almbusa who built a city named Visala, whose

son was Hemachandhrudu. His son was suchandhrudu, and his son was

Dhuamraashvarudu, his son was Srunjayudu, his son was Sahadevudu, his son was

Kushaashvudu, his son was SomadhaThudu, his son was Kaakuthyudu whose son

Sumathi is ruling this city now. With the grace of Ikshwaku, all the rulers of

this Visala lived long life with great accomplishments and were very powerful.

We will rest here for the night. Early in the morning we will go and see Janaka

at Mithila, said Vishvamithra. Sumathi the ruler of Vishala came to know that,

Vishvamithra was staying in the outskirts of his city, and along with his guru

he came to offer his salutation to Vishvamithra. He offered prayers to

Vishvamithra and asked about their Wellbeing!
