Ruru cried over the death of his wife for a long time. According to the advice of a messenger from the Devas Ruru gave half of his life-time to his wife and she came to life again. But Ruru felt a bitter hatred against serpents and began their extermination. Once he met with Sahasrapāt. Instantly at the sight of Ruru, Sahasrapāt obtained his original form. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 11). - [Previous: c7.2384](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2384) - [Next: c7.2386](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2386) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2385](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2385) · Pramāṇa
