Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I differ sir: " The son of Viswamitra was Sunahsepahs, " According to Ramayana, Sunasyepa was not a son of Viswamitra. There are different versions of the story, so we are not sure what it is. But when we speak of Viswamitra I think Ramayana is more authentic. " Drtharaashtra , Pandu and Vidura were not the sons of KrishnadwipayanaVed a Vyasa. " MBH does not say that. Technically, they are Bharatas even if they are born to Vyasa. Because from smriti, Kshetra matters and not just beeja. If beeja comes from some other person and kshetra is of Bharata vamsa, the offspring is Bharata. For that matter, none of the Pandavas are the beeja of Pandu but are only Kshetra of Kunti.Dear Sri Shankarji, Sunashepha is not the real son of Viswamitra, In fact, he was his nephew. Sunashepha was bought by King Rohita to be sacrificed in his place to Lord Varuna by king Harischandra. King Harischandra was suffering from the Jalodara as he reneges on the promise of sacrificing his son to Varuna. Viswamitra intervenes to teach Sunashepha two Verses , reciting which he escapes from getting sacrificed. hope this helps,Kishore patnaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
