The King worshipped them and served them for a long time, as a result of which a son was born to him. Indra decided to lessen the superior power of these hermits. Once the son of the King, who was a mere boy, was playing in the forest. At the instruction of Indra, the thunderbolt took the form of a tiger and went to the forest and killed the boy. Sṛñjaya became very sad. Nārada and Parvata brought the boy to life again and gave him to the King. (M.B. Śānti Parva, Chapter 30). - [Previous: c9.3754](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3754) - [Next: c9.3756](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3756) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.12.30) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3755](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3755) · Pramāṇa
