[Suvarṇashṭhīvi-sambhavopākhyāna(ṃ)]
(“the episode relating to the origin of Suvarṇashṭhīvin”). § 634b (Rājadh.): Parvata, after having taken counsel with Nārada, granted a boon to Sṛñjaya in the form of a son (Suvarṇashṭhīvin), but Indra would not let him be long-lived, and Parvata would not destine otherwise from partiality to Indra, but Nārada told Sṛñjaya to think of him. Nārada and Parvata left Sṛñjaya's presence. Indra slew Suvarṇashṭhīvin, causing his vajra to assume the form of a tiger, on the shores of the Bhāgīrathī. Sṛñjaya, in his distress, thought of Nārada, who recited to him the Shoḍaśarājop. 632b), and brought the child back to life, with Indra's permission
Suvarṇashṭhīvin ruled for 1100 years, gratifying D. and P., and procreated many sons ere he died (XII, 31).
