हरिश्चन्द्र (hariścandra) [Printed book page 3-753]
Hariścandra — son of Triśanku and Satyaratā. Concern- ing him there was a battle between Vasiṣṭha and Viśvāmitra in the disguise of birds for many years. Issueless, and advised by Nārada, he prayed to Varuṇa for a son, promising to offer him in sacrifice to the deity. The son was Rohita. Varuṇa reminded him often about the promised sacrifice, and the king evaded saying that he was not yet fit for it. Knowing this Rohita left for forests and the king had a disease maho- dara: when the boy returned to relieve his father, Indra pre- vented him from going home. Six years passed and Rohita purchased Sunaśśepa, the second son of Ajiganta and returned home. Hariścandra proceeded to offer Sunaśśepa in sacrifice and was relieved of his disease. Sunaśśepa was sold as a sacrificial animal to Rohita.¹ Attained permanent fame;² a samrāṭ by performing Rājasūya³
