KṚŚĀŚVA I. The Prajāpati called Kṛśāśva married Jayā and Suprabhā the daughters of Dakṣaprajāpati and to both were born fifty sons each. All the sons were really arrows called Saṃhāra. Viśvāmitra, by the power of penance made these hundred sons (arrows) of Kṛśāśva his own. It was these arrows, which Viśvāmitra gave to Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. (Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Bālakāṇḍa, Cantos 21 and 26).
