Then he had to humbly submit and appease the offended god. The four Kumāras, the chief of whom was called Sanat-kumāra or by the patronymic Vaidhātra, were later creations or sons of Brahmā. - [Previous: c5.295.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.295.3) - [Next: c5.297](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.297) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.296](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.296) · Pramāṇa
