To get remission of this sin, he discarded his Sacred thread, mark on the forehead and forelock and had been wandering here and there when he met a Brahmin named Muniśarmā. Naravāhana told him his story. This Brāhmaṇa who was a lover of God advised him regarding the importance of the Vaiśākha fast. By taking this fast the King obtained remission of sin. (Padma Purāṇa, Chapter 88). - [Previous: c8.1423](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1423) - [Next: c8.1425](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1425) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) ## Cites (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1424](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1424) · Pramāṇa
