on. Then through the land of deserts [Rajasthan]
and the land where there is hardly any water [Madhya

else.

The brâhmins
answered: 'O son of Prithâ [Kuntî],
he will be the maintainer of all who are born, exactly
like King Ikshvâku, son of Manu, and he will be
loyal in his promises and respect for the learned ones
just like Râma, the son of
Das'aratha.
