DAMANA IV. A son of Bharadvāja. After the investiture with the Brahma string (upanayana) Damana started on a travel. On the way near Amara-kaṇṭaka he met with the hermit Garga who talked to him about the glory of Kāśi. Damana who was a seeker of spiritual knowledge, stopped his travel and sat down to do penance and thus leaving his body he attained heaven. (Skanda Purāṇa, Chapter 2, 4, 74).
