The Ṛiṣis said :—Sûta ! Why did the thousand-armed King Kârtavîrya, burn the forest of the Sage Âpava ? Please tell us fully the reason of his having done so. We have been given to understand that that royal sage was the protector of his subjects ; how then did he burn the forest of that ascetic.—1-2.
