पुराणम्
English
अंशुमती / AṀŚUMATĪ. The daughter of the gandharva King named Dramila. Her story is narrated in the śiva purāṇa to illustrate the benefits of performing the pradoṣa-vrata. sūta expatiates on the importance and advantages of pradoṣa-vrata to a number of sages in Naiṁiśāraṇya. King satyaratha was a scrupulous observer of pradoṣa-vrata. Unfortunately he defaulted in his observance of the vrata owing to unavoidable circumstances and, after his death, was born again as the King of vidarbha. He was killed in a battle by the King of sālva and his wife, pregnant at that time, fled to a forest. She gave birth to a son on the bank of a river. Then, when she stepped into the river to drink some water, she was carried away by a crocodile. Presently a Brahmin woman named uṣā happened to pass that way with her son named śucivrata. Seeing a newborn infant there, that Brahmin woman took him, gave him the name, dharmagupta and brought him up as her own son. According to the advice of a pious Brahmin named śāṇḍilya, both śucivrata and dharmagupta started performing pradoṣa-vrata. Lord śiva was pleased with them and gave them much wealth. dharmagupta happened to meet aṁśumatī, daughter of the gandharva King, Dramila, one day in a forest and they fell in love with each other. Dramila came to know of their love and so gave his daughter in marriage to dharmagupta. As a result of the wealth and power which he had acquired by observing strictly PradoṣaVrata dharmagupta was able to return to vidarbha, defeat King sālva and regain his kingdom from him.
