But Sagara ordered “Go and dig again till you find it”. They went to the nether world. After circling the eight elephants who carry the world they dropped down to the nether world through the north-east corner of the earth. There they saw sage Kapila engaged in penance and the sacrificial horse grazing by his side. The sons of Sagara made a great hubbub there and Kapila produced a big sound of rebuke and stared at them. All the sixtythousand sons of Sagara were reduced to ashes. For more details see under Bhagīratha. (Sargas 39 and 40, Bālakāṇḍa. Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa). - [Previous: c7.2026](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2026) - [Next: c7.2028](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2028) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2027](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2027) · Pramāṇa
