There was once a King called Aruṇa in the family of Māndhātā. Aruṇa got a son and he was named Satyavrata. (It was this Satyavrata who later became the well famed Triśaṅku). When Satyavrata was a youngster he once went inside the marriage hall of a brahmin and kidnapped the bride. Furious at this evil deed of his son the king sent him out from his palace and Satyavrata roamed about aimlessly.
