1 शुनःशेपः _śunḥśēpḥ _ _फः _phḥ _
शुनःशेपः (फः) N. of a Vedic sage, son of Ajīgarta. [In the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa it is rela- ted that king Hariśchandra, being childless, made a vow that on obtaining a son he would sacrifice him to the god Varuṇa. A son was born who was named Rohita, but the king put off the fulfilment of the vow under various pretexts. At last Rohita pur- chased for one hundred cows Śunahśepa, the middle son of Ajīgarta as a substitute for himself to be offered to Varuṇa. But the boy praised Viṣṇu, Indra, and other deities, and escaped death. He was then adopted by Viṣvāmitra in his own family and called by the name Devarāta.]Sanskrit-English dictionary > शुनःशेपः _śunḥśēpḥ _ _फः _phḥ _
