purer than thy son, fell a prey to death, do not grieve for thy son that is dead.  Yuvanaswa’s son Mandhatri also, O Sanjaya, we have heard, fell a prey to death.  The deities named Maruts extracted that child from his sire’s stomach through one of its sides.  Sprung from a quantity of clarified butter that had been sanctified by mantras (and that had by mistake been quaffed by his sire instead of his sire’s spouse) Mandhatri was born in the stomach of the high-souled Yuvanaswa.  Possessed of great prosperity, king Mandhatri conquered the three worlds.  Beholding that child of celestial beauty lying on the lap of his sire, the God asked one another, ’From whom shall this child obtain suck?’ Then Indra approached him, saying, ’He shall obtain stick even from me!’ From this circumstance, the chief of the deities came to call the child by the name of Mandhatri.[97] From the nourishment of that high-souled child of Yuvanaswa, the finger of Indra, placed in his mouth, began to yield a jet of milk.  Sucking Indra’s finger, he grew up into a stout youth in a hundred days, In twelve days he looked like one of twelve years.  The whole earth in one day came under the sway of that high-souled and virtuous and brave king who resembled Indra himself for prowess in battle.  He vanquished king Angada, Marutta, Asita, Gaya, and Vrihadratha the king of the Angas.[98] When Yuvanaswa’s son fought in battle with Angada, the Gods thought that the firmament was breaking with the twang of his how.  The whole earth from where the Sun rises to where he sets is said to be the field of Mandhatri.  Having performed Horse-sacrifices and a hundred Rajasuyas, he gave unto the Brahmanas many Rohita fishes.  Those fishes were each ten Yojanas in length and one in breadth.  Those that remained after gratifying the Brahmanas were divided amongst themselves by the other classes.  When he, O Srinjaya, who transcended thee in respect of the four principal attributes and who was purer than thy son, fell a prey to death, do not grieve for thy son that is dead.  We hear, O Sanjaya, that Yayati, the son of Nahusha, also fell a prey to death.  Having subjugated the whole world with its seas, he journeyed through it, decking it with successive sacrificial altars the intervals between which were measured by throws of a heavy piece of wood.  Indeed, he reached the very shores of the sea as he proceeded performing great sacrifices (on those altars along his way).[99] Having performed a thousand sacrifices and a hundred Vajapeyas, he gratified the foremost of Brahmanas with three mountains of gold.  Having slain many Daityas and Danavas duly arrayed in battle, Nahusha’s son, Yayati, divided the whole earth (among his children).  At last discarding his other sons headed by Yadu and Drahyu, he installed (his youngest son) Puru on his throne and then entered the woods accompanied by his wife, When he, O Srinjaya, who far surpassed thee in the four principal attributes and who was purer than thy son, fell a prey to death, do not grieve for thy
