of a king of अयोध्या (aspiring to ascend to heaven in his mortal body, he first requested वसिष्ठ to perform a great sacrifice for him; on वसिष्ठ's refusing he applied to वसिष्ठ's hundred sons, who cursed and degraded him to the rank of a चण्डाल [hence called a चण्डाल king, [Divyâv. xxxiii] ]; विश्वा-मित्र then undertook the sacrifice for him and invited all the gods, who declined to come and thereby so enraged the sage that, by his own power, he transported
T° to heaven; on his being hurled down again head foremost by the gods, he was arrested in his course by विश्वा-मित्र and remained suspended in the sky, forming the southern cross constellation, R. i, 57 59 G. ff.
