नन्दभद्र (nandabhadra)

 
पुराणम्
English
नन्दभद्र / NANDABHADRA. A righteous vaiśya. Having been childless for a long time this vaiśya, who was an ardent devotee of God Kapileśvara, got a son in his old age. But he died after his marriage. With this calamity nandabhadra became a man of abstinence and began to try to acquire spiritual knowledge. After a while a seven-year-old boy appeared before the vaiśya and quenched his thirst for spiritual knowledge. Later with meditation on śiva and the Sun, nandabhadra attained heaven. (skanda purāṇa, Chapters 1, 2 and 46).
