One day, when the beautiful Aśokasundarī was walking with celestial maids in the Nandanavana an asura named Huṇḍa the son of Vipracitti, came there. The moment his eyes fell on Aśokasundarī he fell in love with her. The asura spoke to her of his love and requested her to be his wife. Not only did she refuse his request but also told him that according to the boon given by Pārvatī she would become the wife of Nahuṣa, the King of the Lunar dynasty.
