Bala Kanda – The legend of King Sathyakethu of Kingdom of Kaikeya
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Bharadhwaja,
all that I have explained was Lord Mahadeva narrated to Goddess Bhavani, I
shall describe another reason for the incarnation of the supreme Lord Vishnu as
Rama, the son of King Dhasharatha and Devi Kausalya, listen to me carefully.
Lord Shambhu described a marvelous legend of Sathyakethu to Goddess Bhavani. There
was the magnificent Kingdom of Kaikeya ruled by King Sathyakethu who is
virtuous, symbolized wisdom, intellect, and prowess. King Sathyakethu had two
sons, who were equally virtuous, powerful, and unconquerable in all the battle,
the elder son was Prathapbhanu and the younger one was Arimardhana, they were highly intelligent, learned, has possessed great skills in the usage
of armaments, powerful in the battlefields, shared a noble and affectionate
relationship with each other. King Sathyakethu ruled the Kingdom of Kaikeya for
several thousand years, after some time, he assigned the stately duties to the
heir to the throne to his elder son Prathapbhanu and retired to woods to
conduct Tapasya and meditation upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari.”
