Śāṃśapāyani said:: It is heard (traditionally) that many sinless Brāhmaṇas, Kṣatriyas and others have achieved spiritual power by means of penance. They are Priyavrata, Uttānapāda, Dhruva, Medhātithi, Vasu, Sudhāman, Virajas, Śaṅkha, Pāṇḍyaja, Prācīnabarhis, Parjanya, Havirdhāna and other kings. These and many others have gone to heaven by means of their austerities. They are saintly kings of great inherent strength whose reputation has been firmly established.
