INTRODUCTION
According to ancient legend, Sagara is a famous king of the Suryavansha dynasty and ruled the Vidarbha region, which is the present day Nagpur, Maharashtra and he was mentioned in ancient texts and in Mahabharata. He ruled his kingdom in a proper manner, and gave a golden rule during his period. Lord Rama and the great king Sri Harichandra were born in the Suryavansha dynasty.
Once, King Sagara performed a Horse Yagna in order to increase his powers. After knowing about it, Lord Indra had stolen the horse and he tied the horse at the ashram of Kapila, who was in deep penance. King Sagar’s sons were searched and found the horse at Sri Kapila Bhagavan’s ashram. And they thought he had stolen it, and prepared to attack the sage. Kapila opened his eyes, and fire formed from his eyes and all the sons of Sagara were immediately burnt into ashes. Later on their descendant, Bhagiratha prayed to Mata Ganga and brought her into the earth, and by spraying the holy water of river ganges in the ashes, his forefathers were reached to the heaven.
Let us worship the great king Sagara and be blessed.
