Sunachaybhan
After the Rishis left the place Sage Vishwamithra called those in the forest “ I came to South to do penance. There was a big obstacle to the same. Let us go to some other direction like west where there are plenty of Places for doing Penance. There in the banks of Pushkar waterfront there is a Holy Place. “ will go there and do severe penance” and went with is entourages and did Penance living on Roots, Vegetables, Fruits.
Those time the Ayodha King Amabahreesha started doing Yagam. In tha tIndra took away the Cow meant of the Yaga.Rithviks said “ Hey king ! because of your careless ness the Cow meant for Yaga is lost. If the King does not take care of his subjects such incidences do occur and spoil the yagam. For this sin to go you have to do Prayachitham. You have to bring the same cow or another Human on that day.
Ambahreesha searched very carefully everywhere in cities, towns, villages, and holy places. He promised countless Cows and wealth in exchange for the original Cow, That Cow for Sacrifice was not available. “Brigudhuntham” the rishi with his wife and 3 sons was living and met them. With folded hands and prayers spoke to the Rishi “when I was performing Yaga, some one stole the YagaCow.Iam in search of a Cow for sacrifice and same is not avaialbel. Finally I am surrendering to you. Please give one of your sons for sacrifice and in exchange I shall offer you countless Cows and wealth.Somehow help me out Sire. This is against Sashtras to sell and buy the sons. But if a Dyansty is going to be stopped then it is ok to offer a son. Likewise please help me perform this Dharma action. The Saint Richeeka said “ Hey King As my Lineage has to be increased I will never sell my Eldest son”. His wife My husband said he will not sell thes 1st one andI have special Love for the last one and hence I am not willing to sell him. Don’t you know that the father has affection to 1st son and Mother to the Last child ?.Sunachaybhan is the 2nd son “ King My father is not ready to sell the eldest and the youngest Sunaka should not be sold has been told by my mother”. It apparently looks like that they have agreed to sell me the middle one.Please take me with you”. Immediately King Amabareesh gave countless Cows , wealth & Granary bought Sunachaybhan and rushed to Ayodhya. (Slokas 23)
