Prishadhra Nabhaga Kavi
(8). PRISHADHRA.
While residing in the house of his Guru, Prishadhra was placed in charge
of cattle. It was raining one night, when a tiger entered the fold. The
cattle strayed about in fear and bellowed aloud. Prishadhra ran after
the tiger. The night was dark. He missed his aim and cut off the head of
the cow, which the tiger had seized. He found out the mistake in the
morning and informed his Guru about it. The Guru said: -- "You shall
become a Sudra, as the fruit of your Karma." Prishadhra accepted the
curse. He became an ascetic, and roamed about the earth as the friend of
all beings. Eventually He ended his life in fire.
(10). KAVI.
Kavi attained wisdom in his youth. He did not marry.
(6). KARUSHA.
The sons of Karusha were the Karushas, a race of pious Kshatriyas, who
guarded the north.
(5). DHRISHTA.
Dharshtas were the sons of Dhrishta. Though born as Kshatriyas, they
became Brahmanas on this earth.
