Atri Maharṣi and his wife once got ready to go for vanavāsa. At that time the poor Maharṣi's wife was in great distress because they had no money to be distributed to their disciples and children. She requested her husband to go to King Vainya and to beg for some money. Accordingly the Maharṣi visited King Vainya at his yāgaśālā (The shed where a yāga is held). He began to flatter Vainya by saying that he was the first kings and so on. Vainya did not like it. He began to dispute with Atri. Vainya remarked that Indra was the first King. To settle the dispute they went together to Sanatkumāra Muni. Sanatkumāra sent them away reconciled. After that Vainya gave Atri much wealth. After distributing all this wealth among their sons and disciples Atri and his wife set out to the forest to perform penance. - [Previous: c4.1136](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1136) - [Next: c4.1138](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1138) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1137](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1137) · Pramāṇa
