¹⁹⁶ It is said that once the nun Sujetthā was practising penance when Pedhāla approached her and creating mist (dhūmikā) before her eyes cohabited with her In course of time Sujetthā bore Satvaki, who became versed in magical spells (vijjā) The magical spell Mahārohini made a hole in his forehead and entered his body Later on this hole was transformed into a third eye After some time Satyaki killed his father because he had raped the royal virgin Sujetthā Then Satyaki became an overlord of magical spells (vijjācakka-vatti) and was called Malesara by Indra Mahesara did not like Brāhmanas and so he violated the chasity of hundreds of Brāhmana girls He committed adultery with all other queens of Pajjoya excepting Sivā Now Mahesara began to live with Umā, a beautiful courtesan of Ujjeni. Once when he was sporting with her he was killed by Pajjoya's servants When Nandisara, a friend of Mahesara came to know of this, he got very angry, and seized with the vijjās, in order to kill the citizens he ascended the sky with a slab of stone. Pajjoya asked his pardon and since then the phallus of Sivā was placed in each and every city for worship (Āva cū II, p 175 f), Hopkins op cit , p 226
