Upagraha (Aprakasa) Gulika & Mandi

[Guest guest]

Dear Frank and others,

 

I was meditating on this topic also last few days. It would be interesting

if one of the learned Pandits could tell the Puranic story or refer to

some scripture where the story is mentioned how Sani begot his son(s)

Mandi-Gulik. We know the story how Sani became son of Surya, Budha became

son of Chandra etc, but how did Mandi-Gulik become son of Sani?

 

Btw, Mandi means " son of Manda " (Manda=Sani) and Gulik will be another

name for him, according to my opinion. I also use end of respective

portions for the Upagrahas.

 

Another question, all graha have one son, why only Sani would have 2 to

determine the Upagraha?

 

Yours,

Dhira Krsna dasa,
