When Satyavrata grew up he became a lewd, lustful imprudent man. One day while he was leading such a contemptuous life, a marriage was being conducted in a brahmin house. Guests had assembled, the bridegroom had come and the ceremony was about to start when Satyavrata entered the marriage hall and carried away by force the bride to the shock of all those present there. Some of the Brahmin guests immediately went to Trayyāruṇa and told him what a shameful crime his son had committed. The enraged father at once sent Satyavrata out from the palace. Satyavrata left the country altogether and went and stayed in a colony of harijans. Though he lived with those low-caste people he did not adopt their mode of living. He went out daily to the forests with his bow and arrow and made his food. He never felt any animosity towards his father who had thus sent him out from his country. He thought thus "Of course, my father got terribly angry when he heard the complaints of the Brahmins and in that mood punished me thus, though the punishment was a bit too much. But our family preceptor Vasiṣṭha, who knows everything, who is a moralist and a righteous man, who has the knowledge and authority to prescribe atonement for all sins, did severe punishment. That was very hard." As he thought about it in this vein, he felt a great hatred towards Vasiṣṭha. - [Previous: c9.3293](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3293) - [Next: c9.3295](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3295) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3294](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3294) · Pramāṇa
