Asamanja

Narada brings Sagara the news that his sixty thousand sons have been burned to ashes by Kapila's energy. Sagara steadies himself, recalling the words of Sthanu, and summons his grandson Anshuman — but before telling him about the dead, he reveals something else: he had already banished Anshuman's father, his own son Asamanja, for the welfare of the citizens. Yudhishthira asks why, and Lomasha recounts how Asamanja used to seize the infants of the city and throw them into the river.
