v1.c3.263

Aty-arāti Jānam-tapi, though not a prince, was taught the Rājasūya by Vāsiṣṭha Satyahavya, and thereupon conquered the earth. When Vāsiṣṭha reminded him of his indebtedness, and claimed a great reward, the warrior replied irascibly that he intended to conquer the Uttara Kurus, and that Vāsiṣṭha would then become King of the Earth, Atyarāti himself being his general (*senā-pati*). Vāsiṣṭha replied that as no mortal man could conquer the Uttara Kurus he was cheated of his reward.
