पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

--a king in the बृहत्कल्प; a friend of Indra. His wife was भानुमती. He had the prowess to vanquish even the Asuras. Asked as to the reason of his strength, his Purohita, वसिष्ठ explained that in the previous birth he was a goldsmith in the service of a शैविते courtesan, लीलावती. She performed the gift of लवनाचल when he helped her in making up the salt mountain in gold without receiving anything as wages. The present position was its consequence. Then he made gifts of ten Merus to वसिष्ठ. M. ९२. १७-33.
