Raji became the father of one hundred children who came to be known as Râjeya. He devoutly practised penances and was granted a boon by Viṣṇu, on account of which he was powerful enough to conquer the Devas, demons and men.---35-36. Once upon a time a pitched battle ensued between the Devas and the Asuras for three centuries, in which there was a tremendous fight between Prahlâda and Indra. The battle was indecisive. At that both the Devas and the Asuras asked Brahmâ, as to who was likely to bear away the palm of victory. Brahmâ said that the party headed by Raji would be victorious. Hearing that the Devas eager for their victory requested the King Raji to take their part in the great war.—37-39.
