342 In the Harivamsha Purana, King Sagara, along with the Kshatriya clan, went to the Tamodara (Mahakal) and, following the prescribed rituals of the Homa and mantras, was cured of his fever. ||139|| The wicked Mahakal, driven by a desire for violence, taught the Brahmanas the non-Vedic scriptures he had created himself, and quickly brought them under his control. ||140|| He showed the Kshatriyas and others who desired the fruits of sacrifice, the Ashvamedha, Ajamedha, and Go-medha sacrifices. ||141|| The Rajasuya sacrifice, in which hundreds and thousands of kings participated, was also shown by Mahakal, the enemy of kings. ||142|| Although the celestial being named Pragdiwakaradeva, accompanied by Narada, was eager to obstruct Mahakal's evil deeds, the celestial illusion thwarted his efforts. ||143|| Indeed, what can a human being, even if endowed with the power of knowledge, do when a wicked celestial being, possessing the extraordinary qualities of Anima, etc., is determined to act? ||144|| This wicked celestial being, who caused harm to himself and others, had many beings killed by the Brahmanas and others who were eager to obey him, and then offered them in sacrifice.

The celestial being named Pragdiwakaradeva gave him his own supremely auspicious daughter, endowed with knowledge. ||148|| In that lineage, a noble daughter named Somashri was born to the Brahman Vasudeva from a Kshatriya wife. ||149|| The sage Karalabrahmadutta, who possessed divine vision, had declared that she would be the wife of the great man who would conquer her in the Vedas. ||150|| Hearing this, the noble Kumar Vasudeva studied all the Vedas at that time, and, having conquered Somashri, married her according to the prescribed rituals. ||151|| Just as the newlywed bride had a strong love for Kumar Vasudeva, so too did Kumar Vasudeva have a strong love for his new bride.
