DHARMĀKARA : A righteous house-holder. Once a prince entrusted his beautiful wife with Dharmākara and went away. Though she lived with him for six months he did not have any kind of contact with her. The prince returned. Wicked people tried to arouse doubts about the chastity of his wife and the house- holder. But it was futile. Still fearing calumny Dharmā- kara entered fire. In that test by fire he came out victo- rious. Not only did his body remain unscorched, but also that the faces of the wicked people who blamed him were filled with leprosy and became ugly. (Padma Purāṇa, Sṛṣṭi khaṇḍa, Chapter 50).
