He was the eldest of one thousand sons, and Yudhiṭṭhila was his younger brother. After he came of age he was on his way early one morning to the park, and saw all around him dew. In the evening, as he returned home, the dewdrops were no more to be seen. His charioteer explained that the sun had dried them up. Reflecting on this, the prince realized the impermanence of life and asked his father's leave to renounce the world. Both his parents tried to dissuade him but they failed, and he and Yudhiṭṭhila built a hermitage in the Himālaya, where they became ascetics. - [Previous: v2.c32.313](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.313) - [Next: v2.c32.315](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.315) - [Up: v2.c32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.314](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.314) · Pramāṇa
