Nahusha

by Gayatri Madan Dutt, Ram Waeerkar (Illustrator)

Even though Nahusha, the son of King Ayus and Queen Indumati, was spirited away at birth to be killed by the demon, Hunda, he lived on to achieve immortality. Married to Ashokasundari, the beautiful daughter of Shiva and Parvati, he was elected to be the king of heaven and then his mortal mind succumbed to the sin of pride. The stories of Nahusha are taken from the Padma Purana and the Mahabharata.

[Pranav · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an excellent book as it shows the birth of Nahusha and Ashokasundari. I was shocked to see that Hundasura wanted to eat a new born baby for his meal. It was good to see that the devacharanas sang praises of Nahusha otherwise he would have never known about his childhood. It also talks about the story of Ashokasundari, who was the youngest of Shiva and Parvati's three children. I was naturally angry to see the Brahmarishis pulling the palanquin but he invited the curse upon himself as misuse of any substance will lead to the person's downfall. It was good to see that Yudhishtira finally relieved him from the curse. Overall, this was an excellent book
