धर्मसख (dharmasakha)

 
पुराणम्
English
धर्मसख / DHARMASAKHA. A king of the kekaya line of Kings. He had a hundred wives but no children. At last, at an old age, he got a son of Sucandrā, wife of his elder brother. But the hunderd wives of dharmasakha were pining for having a son and so the king consulted his ministers and on their advice conducted a Putrakāmeṣṭi yajña (a sacred sacrificial ceremony for obtaining children) at Hanūmatkuṇḍa near the southern sea-coast. As a result of that each of his hundred wives got a child. (skanda purāṇa, Chapter 15).
