Putanjaya is the son of Vikukshi. He is called Indra-Vaha
or Indra-Vehicled. Several of the kings of this dynasty befriended
the Devas of Svar Loka.
Further down \ve find King Purukutsa forming an alliance
with the elemental serpents, and holding communion with the dwell-
ers of Rasatala. The river Narvada is mentioned in connection with
Rasatala.
Mdndhdtd is a traditional name that has been preserved upto
this time in common parlance in the saying " As old as king
Mandhata." The line of Mandhata was divided into three different
branches. Muchukunda represented a branch of Yogins. The long,
unbroken sleep of Muchukunda is traditional and he is credited also
with Yogic powers. Another branch that of Ambarisha, Youvanasva
and Harita represented a spiritual sub-race. But we have to follow
the history of the Atlanteans through Purukutsa. The connection
with Rasatala, or the plane of Material ascendancy, affected the
destiny of this line. In Trisanku, the aspiration ran very high. He
became a Deva, but had his head turned downwards, /. e. turned
towards materiality. With the powers of a Deva, but with the
aspirations of an Asura, the ground was prepared for the down-
fall of this line. For a time, however, the Race flourished in all its
materiality. The alliance between Devas and men became cemented
by the performance of Vedic sacrifices. This was the first spiritual
advance of the human race, through the temptations of Svarga life.
The time of Haris Chandra is the Vedic era, when the earliest
Riks of what we know as Rigveda were composed. Visvamitra and
his disciples were the Vedic Rishis of this age. The Vedas tried to
curb the riotous course of materiality by prescribing a number of res-
trictions on the enjoyment of material desires. Elaborate rules were
laid down as to how the desires might be best gratified for a prolong-
ed period in Svargaloka, by the performance of sacrifices or Yajna.
The whole of the life of the regenerate classes was regulated by rigid
laws and a glowing picture was given of life in Svarga after death.
The sacred injunctions were not, however, potent enough to check the
Kamic tendencies of the race and the cyclic law which now required
the spiritual evolution of humanity was continually disregarded by
the race. This was poison (gara} to the system of humanity and
king Sagar imbibed this poison. Hence he was called the Poisoned.
He had two wives. The sons of one wife were 60 thousand in number.
They offended Kapila, an Incarnation of Vishnu, and thus were all
consumed. They reached the limit of material degradation, where
final extinction awaited the race. The number 60,000 is suggestive,
