VIDŪRATHA III. A king who was the friend of the hermit Bhalanda. This king had two sons named Sunīti and Sumati and a daughter named Mudāvatī. One day while Vidūratha was hunting in the forest, he saw a cleavage on the earth caused by the yawning of Kujṛmbhāsura. The king stood there for a while looking at the cleavage. Then the hermit Suvrata who had been standing close by approached the king and said. “This asura Kujṛmbha has a divine pestle with him. Because of the possession of this pestle he has become invincible and is a threat to the whole world.”
