He married one Yādavī, but for many years they had no issues. Yādavī had become old by the time she conceived a child as the result of many yajñas etc. But, Subāhu's other wives, viz. co-wives of Yādavī, did not like the prospects of Yādavī becoming a mother. They administered poison to her with the result that Yādavī did not deliver in time, but continued as a pregnant woman for seven years. The sad couple, for their mental relief went into the forest and lived as disciples of a sage called Aurva. But Subāhu died rather soon and Yādavī prepared herself to follow him in the funeral pyre. But, the sage Aurva prevented her from self-immolation speaking to her thus: "You shall not act rashly. The child in your womb will become a famous emperor and rule over the whole world." - [Previous: c7.191](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.191) - [Next: c7.193](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.193) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.192](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.192) · Pramāṇa
