Sons of Sagara Went There

[Guest guest]

The Sons of Sagara went there:

 

34-38. On being told thus by Kapila, all those Devas including Indra,

became delighted. After bowing down to him they went towards heaven.

In the meantime, king Sagara, the Lord of the Earth desired to

perform Vajimedha ( Horse Sacrifice ), the great Yajna. With the

permission of Vasistha, he gathered together all the necessary

requisites. Accompanied by Aurva and other Brahmanas he duly took the

initiation for the performance of sacrifice.

 

For the purpose of letting the horse roam about, the king of great

renown called all his sons and commanded them thus:

 

O my sons, make the horse roam about all round the earth. It behoves

you to do this immediately and bring it back to me."

 

Jaimini said:

 

39-43. " At the behest of their father they took the horse and made

it wander over the entire earth. It was only because of the directive

of the Vedic injunction that the horse was made to go round the earth

and not for the conquest of the quarters nor for levying taxes and

tributes as the whole of the earth had already been conquered by that

king.

 

Kings had already been made payers of tributes by that king of

exalted heroism in the battlefield. Then those princes reached the

lower ground surface of the salt ocean wherein there was no water.

With great delight they encircled the horse and entered the interior

of the earth.
