from the lesson the story of river ganga​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mighty Ganga has to be brought down to earth, but how is King Bhagiratha going to achieve this?

Many thousands of years ago lived a king called Sagara. He had two wives, Sumati and Kesini.

Through Kesini, the king had a son called Asmanjas and, through Sumati, 60,000 sons. Asmanjas was a wicked prince ,but his son Anshuman was virtuous and much loved by his father’s subjects.

And so it came about that King Sagara decided to conduct the Ashvamedha Yagna (horse sacrifice). But Indra, king of gods, was threatened by Sagara’s growing power and so he stole the sacrificial horse and hid it in Sage Kapila’s ashram in the netherworld.
