2) Birth and attainment of Boon. Jayadratha was born as a result of severe fasts and vows taken by his father. There was an ethereal voice at the birth of Jayadratha, “This child would become a very famous King. The head of him, who puts down the head of this child on the earth would break into a hundred pieces within a moment” His father was filled with joy when he heard this ethereal voice, and so he made Jayadratha King at a very young age and went to Samantapañcaka to perform penance. (M.B. Droṇa Parva, Chapter 146).
