A Rājarṣi (royal sage), the son of Tugra. King Tugra sent his son with an army across the sea to conquer the enemies in a distant island. When the boat in which they sailed had reached mid-ocean, it was caught in a storm and wrecked. The prince and the soldiers sank into the sea. At that time the prince prayed to the Aśvins who saved Bhujyu from drowning and carried him back to the palace in boats and chariots travelling through the air. This story is given in the Ṛgveda where the adventures of Aśvins are described.
