Dandakya was out hunting when he saw the daughter of the Brahmin Bhargava in his

hermitage. Overwhelmed by passion, he took her up in his chariot and carried her
off.
When Bhargava returned with the fuel and sacred grass that he had gone off to
fetch,
and did not see her, he meditated to learn what had happened and then he cursed the
king. As a result, Dandakya and his entire family and kingdom were covered by a
dust-storm and died. Even today they sing about that place, the Dandaka Wilderness

Dandakya is said to have abducted from the forest the daughter of a Brahman, named
Bhargava, and being cursed by the Brahman, was buried with his kingdom under a
shower of dust. The place was called after his name the Dandaka forest, celebrated
in the Ramayana, but now unknown.
Ahalya was the wife of the sage Gautama. Indra caused her to believe that he was
Gautama, and thus enjoyed her. He was cursed by Gautama and subsequently afflicted
with a thousand ulcers on his body.
Kichaka was the brother-in-law of King Virata, with whom the Pandavas had taken
refuge for one year. Kichaka was killed by Bhima, who assumed the disguise of
Draupadi. For this story the Mahabarata should be referred to.
The story of Ravana is told in the Ramayana, which with the Mahabarata form the
two great epic poems of the Hindoos; the latter was written by Vyasa, and the
former by Valmiki.

Aila (ऐल) or Aila Purūravas is the name of an ancient king, according to the
Vaṃśānucarita section of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various
Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, [...] Aila Purūravas, the most
illustrious pious king gets married to Urvaśī, the heavenly damsel who is cursed by
Brahmā to spend sometime here on earth. Purūravas begets on her six sons—Āyu, Mayu,
Amāyu, Viśvāyu, Śatāyu and Śrutāyu . All these are celebrated like Semi-divine
beings (devayonaya).

Pururavas (Sanskrit: पुरूरवस्, Purūravas) is a character in Hindu literature, a king


who served as the first of the Lunar dynasty.[1]Once, Pururavas, and Urvashi, an
apsara, fell in love with each other. Pururavas asked her to become his wife, but
she agreed on three or two conditions. The most retold conditions are that
Pururavas would protect Urvashi's pet sheep and they would never see one another
naked (apart from love making).[5]
Pururavas agreed the conditions and they lived happily. Indra started missing
Urvashi and he created circumstances where the conditions were broken. First he
sent some gandharvas to kidnap the sheep, when the couple was making love. When
Urvashi heard her pets' cries, she scolded Pururavas for not keeping his promise.
Hearing her harsh words, Pururavas forgot that he was naked and ran after the
sheep. Just then, Indra flashed lightning, and Urvashi saw her husband naked. After
the events, Urvashi returned to heaven, and left Pururavas heartbroken. Urvashi
descended upon the earth and bore Pururavas many children, but they were not
completely reunited.
He had six (or seven or eight according to different accounts) sons. The names of
these sons are: Ayu (or Ayus), Amavasu,[6] Vishvayu, Shrutayu, Shatayu (or Satayu),
and Dridhayu. Nahusha, the son of Ayu, is a well-known name in the Rigveda.[7]

Ravana (/ˈrɑːvənə/;[1] Sanskrit: रावण, IAST: Rāvaṇa, pronounced [ˈraːʋɐɳɐ]) is a


multi-headed rakshasa king[2] of the island of Lanka, and the chief antagonist in
the Hindu epic Ramayana.[3][4] In the Ramayana, Ravana is described as the eldest
son of sage Vishrava and Kaikesi. He abducted Prince Rama's wife, Sita, and took
her to his kingdom of Lanka, where he held her in the Ashoka Vatika.[5] Rama, with
the support of vanara King Sugriva and his army of vanaras, launched an invasion
against Ravana in Lanka. Ravana was subsequently slain, and Rama rescued his
beloved wife Sita.[6][7]

. Yudhishthira is given half the kingdom and made king of Khandavprastha, so as to


avoid a clash with the Kaurava princes over the whole Kuru Kingdom. Duryodhana
became the crown prince of Hastinapura, But Duryodhana remained jealous of
Yudhishthira, especially after the Pandavas along with Krishna transformed
Khandavaprastha to IndraprasthaDuryodhana's jealousy of the prosperity and fame of
Indraprastha and being humiliated by the Pandavas made him furious and he wished to
throw down the Pandavas. To support his will, Shakuni devised a scheme to rob
Yudhishthira of his kingdom and wealth by defeating him in a Pakida or game of
dice, in which Shakuni couldn't lose as he had dice which he could
control.Yudhishthira gambled away his entire kingdom, his wealth, his four brothers
and even his wife, Duryodhana encouraged his brother Dushasana to drag her into
the court Duryodhana ordered Draupadi to sit on his left thigh, showing and patting
it to insult her for revenge. Draupadi refused and Duryodhan ordered Dushashan to
disrobe her.Bhima pledged that he would break Duryodhana's thigh.The Kurukshetra
WarBhima victoriously attacked Duryodhana with his mace and struck his thigh,
mortally wounding Duryodhana. After having his face insultingly kicked by Bhima,
Duryodhana bemoaned that he was slain by unfair means, given that it was illegal to
attack below the waist in a mace fight.

According to Valmiki’s Ramayana, there once lived rakshasa brothers, Vatapi and
Ilvala. All their life they killed holy men by tricking them. Vatapi had the boon
of transforming into any life form at will. While Ilvala had the power to bring
back the dead.
In order to kill the sages, both would take another form. Ilvala would assume the
form of a holy man and Vatapi would transform himself into a goat. Every time sages
passed through the forest, Ilvala would invite them for a feast. Ilvala would cook
the goat, which was Vatapi, and serve it to the holy men. After they were done
feasting, Ilvala would shout,
“ O Vatapi! Come out.”
Vatapi would emerge tearing the stomach of the sages. The rakshasa brothers killed
thousands of holy men using this trick.
One fine day, Ilvala saw Sage Agastya passing by. As usual, he invited the sage for
a feast. Sage Agastya, through his divine powers, understood that he was being
tricked by the rakshasa brothers. However, he decided to play along. As expected,
Ilvala cooked Vatapi in his goat form and served it. Sage Agastya ate the meal,
rubbed his right hand over his belly and said,
“Vatapi get digested.”
Thus, when Ilvala tried recalling Vatapi, he didn’t come back. Agastya said,
“You wicked Ilvala, you and your brother thought you could kill me but Vatapi can’t
come back now. He has already been digested and his soul has departed his body.”
Ilvala got furious. Seeking revenge, Ilvala pulled out his weapon to attack
Agastya. But Agastya, through his powers obtained through penance, let out fire
from his eyes burning the rakshasa to ashes.

Ahalya was the wife of sage Gautama. Both lived happily in his ashram spending
their days in peace and holy meditation. Indra, the king of natural forces, had
lecherous dreams about her. Once sun and moon assisted Indra in confusing Gautama
that it was morning while it was actually night. While Gautama was away for morning
ablutions, Indra, disguised as Gautama, approached Ahalya and proposed his desires
in front of her. Perhaps she was deceived by the impersonation and yielded to his
desire.
Indra was fleeing in guilty panic, when he bumped into the rishi who was just
returning from his ablutions. The sage immediately guessed as to what had happened.
The sage was very angry and he cursed Indra that he would lose his manhood
immediately, as a punishment for the sin he had committed. As soon as the rishi
spoke these words, Indra became a eunuch.
Then the sage turned to his wife and he cursed Ahalya to become a stone for an
indefinite period of time. He then added that she would be turned to a woman when
the son of Dashrath would touch her statue with his foot. The sage then left his
ashram for Himalayas.

Daṃbhodbhava (दंभोद्भव).—An ancient emperor. He was a mighty warrior prince. He brought


the whole world under control. At last there was nobody left to fight with. So he
walked about challenging everybody he met with. But none dared to fight with him.
Then Brahmā advised him to challenge Nara Nārāyaṇas who were doing penance on the
northern-most point of the earth. So the emperor went with his mighty army to
Gandhamādana and informed Nara and Nārāyaṇa of his desire to fight. They said that
they were mere hermits and that they had no power to fight. But Daṃbhodbhava was
not satisfied. Finally Nara and Nārāyaṇa took some iṣīkā grass and began to fight
the emperor with it. Though the army of the emperor was mighty and vast it could
not stand against the grass in the hands of the hermits. Finally the emperor
admitted failure and bowed before the hermits. They advised him not to be arrogant
in future and to lead a pure life. Hearing the exhortations of the hermits the
emperor became a devoted man. He returned to his palace and led a life of
righteousness
