The king of the Aṅga country was invited at the horse-sacrifice of king Daśaratha.¹ The sage Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, son of Bibhāṇḍaka, came to Aṅga at the invitation of Romapāda, who was then the powerful king of the Aṅga country. King Romapāda received him cordially and gave his daughter Śāntā in marriage to him because the sage succeeded in removing drought from his kingdom.² At the request of king Romapāda of Aṅga, Ṛṣyaśṛṅga with his wife Śāntā came to Ayodhyā to perform the sacrifice of king Daśaratha who was a great friend of Romapāda.³
