Your sons, taking the warriors with them, hit that sage with their legs.83.

Then the meditation of that great sage was shattered and a huge fire came out of his eyes.84.

The messenger told, “O king Sagar! in this way all your sons were burnt and reduced to ashes alongwith their army and not even one of them survived.”85.

Hearing about the destruction of his sons, the whole city was steeped in sorrow and all the people here and there were filled with anguish.86.

All of them, remembering Shiva, withholding their tears assumed patience in their minds with the holy saying of the sages.87.

Then the king performed the last funeral rites of all affectionately according to Vedic injunctions.88.

In his extreme sorrow on the demise of his sons, the king left for heaven and after him, there were several other kings, who can describe them?89.

End of the description of Vyas, the incrnation of Brahma and the rule of king Prithu in Bachittar Natak.

Now begins the description about king Yayati

MADHUBHAAR STANZA

Then there was a most glorious king Yayati, whose fame had spread in the fourteen worlds.90.

His eyes were charming and his form of enormous glory was like the god of love.91.

The fourteen worlds had received brilliance from the glory of his charming elegance.92.

That generous king had innumerable qualities and had skill in fourteen science.93.

That beautiful king was most glorious, capable, expert in qualities and had faith in God.94.

The king had knowledge of Shastras, he was extremely furious in war, he was the fulfiller of all wishes like Kamadhenu, the wish-fulfilling cow.95.

The king with his bloody dagger was and invincible, complete, furious and powerful warrior.96.

When he drew his sword, he was like KAL (death) for his enemies, and his magnificence was like the fires of the sun.97.

When he fought, none of his limbs turned back, none of his enemies could stand before him and thus ran away.98.

The sun trembled before him, the directions shivered, the opponents stood with bowed heads and would run away in anxiety.99.

The warriors trembled, the cowards fled and the kings of various countries would break before him like thread.100.
