Son of Divodāsa, king of Kāsī. The whole family of Divodāsa was slain by a king named Vīta-havya. The afflicted monarch through a sacrifice performed by Bhrigu obtained a son, Pratardana, who became a mighty warrior, and avenged the family wrongs upon his father's foe. Vīta-havya then flew to the sage Bhrigu for protection, and was by him raised to the dignity of a Brahmarshi. - [Previous: c5.1389](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1389) - [Next: c5.1391](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1391) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1390](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1390) · Pramāṇa
