But, when they reached the sea-shore the horse disappeared. When the sons complained about it to their father, Sagara, he asked them to look out for the horse in every part of the world and bring it back. Not finding it anywhere on earth they dug a hole and entered Pātāla, where they saw Sage Kapila absorbed in meditation and the missing horse tied to a pole near the sage. (It was Indra who had carried away the horse and tied it there). The sons of Sagara, believing that it was Kapila who had stolen the horse were about to attack the sage when he opened his eyes, and they were reduced to ashes in the fire of Kapila’s eyes. - [Previous: c7.105](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.105) - [Next: c7.107](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.107) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.106](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.106) · Pramāṇa
