The Eight-Sixty Festival

At that time, the doorkeeper informed the two Vidyadharas. The king, following the custom, invited them in. 219
The promising Balabhadra Ramachandra, also delighted by their presence, asked, "From where have you two Kumaras come, and who are you?" 27
In response, Sugriva said, "In the southern range of Vijayardha mountain, there is a city called Kilkila. In the Vidyadharas, there is a very famous Vidyadhara named Balindra, who is the lord of that city. He had a wife named Priyangasundari. They had two sons, Bali and Sugriva. When their father passed away, the elder brother Bali inherited the kingdom, and I received the position of Yuvaraja in due course. After some time, my elder brother Bali's heart was consumed by greed, and he expelled me from the country after seizing my position. This is my introduction. Now, let me introduce my companion. He is also the son of Prabhanjan Vidyadhara, the lord of the city of Vidyutkanta in the southern range. His name is Amittej, and he is a son of Anjana Devi. He possesses immense power and is knowledgeable in all three types of Vidya." 270-276
Once, in a gathering of Vidyadhara Kumaras, they decided to test the greatness of their respective Vidya. At that time, he placed his right foot on the peak of Vijayardha mountain and kicked the chariot of the sun with his left foot. Then, in that very moment, he made his small body the size of a speck of dust. Seeing this, the minds of the Vidyadharas were filled with wonder. At that time, all the Vidyadharas, with great joy, named him 'Anuman'. He has drunk the ocean of Vikriya, meaning he is capable of performing all kinds of Vikriya. He is my dearest friend, even more precious than my life. 277-280
I once went with him to the Sammed Shikhar mountain. There, in the holy place called Siddhakut, I worshipped and paid homage to many statues of Arhant Bhagwan. I sat there with good intentions. At that time, Narada arrived there in his chariot. He was wearing a crown of matted hair, a garland of pearls, and saffron robes. He had a water pot hanging from his side, a parasol in his hand, and was a lifelong celibate, always absorbed in fierce meditation. 281-284
