Sagar
Ganga was born in Sky and how she came to earth was told by Sage Kaushika. Rama in earlier times there was a king named Sagar who was ruling Ayodhya. He was great Warrior, Dharmathma (Noblest Righteous person), he did not have Sons for a long time.Vidharba King’s daughter Kesini was his 1stwife.she is very noble righteous pious and always spoke the truth ie Sathyam.Kashyapa’s daughter Sumathi was his 2nd wife who was matchless in beauty. Sagar was doing penance with his Consorts in Himalay foot hills in a place known as Brighu Prasravanam for begetting Children. Saint Brighu appreciating his efforts blessed him and thus cleaned him of Sins which were preventing him form begetting Sons. You will get Noblest sons and unmatched Fame. One of your consorts will get 1 Son who will have Lineage of your Clan. Other Queen will get 60,000 Sons .Will the Saint’s wrods ever belie? The Queens bowed and asked him “Amongst us who is the one who will get 1 Son who will have Lineage or futher Children though him.. May your blessing come ture,we are eager to know. The Brighu saint said let me do it the way you want , there are no conditions to this. Who wants only son or who wants many sons with Courage, Strength,Valour Fame and Limitless Motivation? Kesini asked for 1 son where as Sumathi sought for many valorous Sons prayed for same. Then the King Sagar and his consorts did Pradhakshinam(Going around in clockwise direction) Brighu Rishi and did Namskarams Prostrations took permission and came to Ayodhya. Kesini got a son Asamanjhan,, Sumathi got a round Mass of meat. When she split open the same 60,000 sons came out. Relations put them in Ghee (Melted Butter) Pots and reared them. They grew in stature and were handsome and Valorous. The eldest son Asamanjhan used to catch hold of young kids and drown them in Sarayu River water and used to enjoy the torture they undergo while doing so. Thus he was tormenting Good people and ordinary citizens and Sagar threw him out of his country.( this fellow actually was a great Saint and wanted them understand that his world is a Myth like cinema or Movie and wanted the people to realize. (He brought those Children back to Life).His son Amsuman was very dear to one and all and was close to all people. After a long time Sagar decided to perform Ashwamedh Yaga(Slokas 24)
