Hearing about this the mother who was in the forest, wept bitterly. Indra visited her (Bhaṃgāśva) there and she told him the whole story of her misfortunes and begged his pardon for performing Indradviṣṭa sacrifice without inviting Indra. Pleased with her repentance Indra promised to resuscitate one set of her hundred sons. She wanted all the hundred sons who were born when she was a woman, to be restored to life. Indra was ready to restore her manhood too, but she preferred to continue as a woman. Indra restored to life all the 200 sons of Bhaṃgāśva and leaving Bhaṃgāśva as a woman, returned to Devaloka. (M.B. Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 12). - [Previous: c7.920](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.920) - [Next: c7.922](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.922) - [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.c7.921](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.921) · Pramāṇa
