At that time, the kingdom of Aṅga was ruled by Lomapāda, a friend of Daśaratha. Once he cheated a Brāhmaṇa. Consequently all the Brāhmaṇas in that country left the place and emigrated to other lands. From that time there was no rain in the land of Aṅga. A severe drought and famine followed. Lomapāda invited devout Brāhmaṇas and consulted them how they could bring rain to the land. They told him that if he could get a Muni (sage) who had never seen women to perform a yāga, there would be rainfall in the land. The King sent his men far and wide to find a Muni who had never set eyes on a woman. At last he got news that Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, son of Vibhāṇḍaka was the sage who had never seen women. He then began to plan how Ṛṣyaśṛṅga could be brought over to Aṅga. - [Previous: c9.510](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.510) - [Next: c9.512](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.512) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.511](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.511) · Pramāṇa
