--a son of Diti after her penance and father of Asura तारक who gave trouble to the devas; while a boy, under the orders of his mother, had Indra bound and placed before Diti; ब्रह्मा and कश्यप medi- ated and set him free; ब्रह्मा gave him for wife a mind- born daughter, वराङ्गी, with whom he went to penance; when वराङ्गी was engaged in तपस् Indra threatened her with several guises of the monkey, serpent, jackal, etc., which made her weep in sorrow and fear; meanwhile Vaj- राङ्ग's penance had ended and ब्रह्मा had blessed him. He came in search of his wife whom he found crying in fear. [page३-140+ ३३] She spoke of the insult offered by Indra and asked for a son, तारक, able to vanquish Indra. Then again he entered into a terrible vow when ब्रह्मा blessed him with the son desired by his spouse. तारक was born and great festivities were held in his honour. Soon he was crowned king of the Asura world. M. १४६. 5, ४१ ff; १४७. 1-२९.
