A King of the Hehaya dynasty. He once went hunting and followed a deer for a long distance to no purpose. The sad King then entered a tapovana and conversed with the munis about the desires and attachments of man. Then the muni called Ṛṣabha related to the King the stories of the munis, Viradyumna and Tanu and as a result of Ṛṣabha's advice the King renounced all desires and turned to the path of salvation. (Śānti Parva, Chapters 125, 126 and 127). - [Previous: c9.2668](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2668) - [Next: c9.2670](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2670) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2669](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.2669) · Pramāṇa
