(Nikumbhaka). A very reputed sage. If he visited any place at dusk he left it only after a thousand years. He visited Kāśī once when King Divodāsa was ruling the state after having killed the Rākṣasa called Kṣemaka, who had lived like a king there. Kumbhaka lived in a forest in Kāśī with his disciples. Prosperity reigned supreme within a radius of three Yojanas from where the sage lived. Neither wild beasts nor famine infested the area. - [Previous: c7.2983](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2983) - [Next: c7.2985](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2985) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2984](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2984) · Pramāṇa
