Śrñjaya had no sons. He informed the hermits of this sad state. Nārada blessed the king and said that a son named Suvarṇaṣṭhivī would be born to him and that with his birth everything in the palace would become gold. Accordingly the son Suvarṇaṣṭhivī was born to Śrñjaya and everything in the palace became golden. When the son became four years old, by the sorcery of Indra the child died. Nārada brought him to life again. (See under Suvarṇaṣṭhivī).
