Together with his queens Keshini and Sumati, he performs austerities, and the sage Bhrigu grants him an extraordinary boon: one queen will bear a son who continues the royal line, while the other will become the mother of sixty thousand sons.In time, Keshini gives birth to Asamanja, while Sumati becomes the mother of Sagara’s vast line of sons. But Asamanja’s cruel conduct leads Sagara to banish him from the city. His son Anshuman, however, grows into a respected and courageous prince.Later, Sagara begins a great sacrifice. When the sacrificial horse is stolen by Indra, Sagara sends his sixty thousand sons to search for it.Their search becomes destructive. Unable to find the horse, they begin digging through the earth, causing devastation among the beings below. Eventually they reach the northeastern region, where they discover the horse near the great sage Kapila.Convinced that Kapila is responsible for the theft, Sagara’s sons rush toward him in anger. Kapila responds with a powerful utterance, and all sixty thousand princes are reduced to ashes.When they fail to return, Sagara sends his grandson Anshuman to discover what happened. Anshuman reaches the place where the princes were destroyed, finds the sacrificial horse, and meets Garuda.Garuda reveals the key to their liberation: ordinary water will not be enough. Only the sacred waters of Ganga can purify the ashes of Sagara’s sons and allow them to attain heaven.Anshuman returns with the horse, and Sagara successfully completes his sacrifice. But one great problem remains unresolved—how can Ganga be brought to earth?Sagara spends the rest of his long reign without finding the answer. The responsibility will now pass to the generations that follow.In the next episode, the story continues with Anshuman, Dilipa and Bhagiratha, as the effort to bring Ganga to earth moves closer to fulfillment.Presented by DreamTune MelodiesProduced by DreamTune Studio

  In this episode of Ramayan – The Eternal Journey, the great sage Vishvamitra arrives in Ayodhya and asks King Dasharatha for something the king never expected—to send Rama with him.Vishvamitra explains that the rakshasas Maricha and Subahu repeatedly disrupt his sacred rite. Bound by the discipline of his vow, the sage cannot simply curse them. He asks Dasharatha to entrust Rama to him for ten nights, promising that the young prince will be protected and will gain lasting glory.Dasharatha is shaken by the request. Rama is still young, and the king cannot bear the thought of separation. He offers his army—and even himself—in Rama’s place.
