"Does anybody want me? Will anybody buy me for price?" Instantly Yamadharma came there as an outcaste and bought Hariścandra. The name of the outcaste was Pravira. He bought Hariścandra to guard the funeral ground and to collect tax on dead bodies. Viśvāmitra quickly ran to the place. The outcaste gave Viśvāmitra ten yojanas of land which yielded jewels, in the region of Prayāga and severed his connection. Viśvāmitra went on his way. The outcaste King took Hariścandra to the funeral ground. Day and night Hariścandra had to guard the entrance of the funeral ground. - [Previous: c9.4760](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4760) - [Next: c9.4762](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4762) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4761](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4761) · Pramāṇa
