पुराणम्
English
निक्षुभा / NIKṢUBHĀ. An Apsarā woman about whom the following story occurs in the Brahmaparva of the Bhaviṣya purāṇa. On account of the curse of sūrya, nikṣubhā, the great beauty in Svarloka, was born on earth as daughter of Sujihva a brahmin of Mihira gotra. At the instance of her father, she used to keep the yajña fire ever burning. One day the fire held in her hands abruptly burst into flames, and her unique beauty revealed in the light kindled the passion of sūrya.
Next day sūrya went to Sujihva and told him that his daughter, nikṣubhā was carrying since he had married her. As soon as he heard Sūrya's words Sujihva cursed his daughter thus: “Since the child in your womb is enveloped by fire the child born to you will be despised and rejected by people.”
Then sūrya went to nikṣubhā and told her that though her child might be despised he would be a scholar, very well-bred and eligible for the worship of agni.
As years passed many children were born to her by sūrya. While she was living in the śāka island sāmba, the son of kṛṣṇa, deputed her sons to perform rites in the sūrya temple at Sāmbapura. Nikṣubhā's sons were married to girls born in the bhoja family.
