He used to give daily lotus flowers to a harlot who was doing worship of viṣṇu observing the Dvādaśīvrata. He was doing this service with such devotion that in the next birth he was born under the name puṣpavāhana (carrier of flowers). The sage bhṛgu once told him about his previous birth and asked him to observe dvādaśīvrata. puṣpavāhana observed the vrata and attained bliss. (sṛṣṭi khaṇḍa, padma purāṇa).
