Madan Rekha
The great Saye, Manichand discovered by means of his mystical intuition that the lady whom Maniprabha, the Vidhyadhar (a demi-god) had brought with him was Maclana Rekha. He also visualized with his mental eyes that Madan Rekha was a woman of very great chastity and integrity. She had been living in the forest. She made a swing out of a piece of her sari; and hung it to a tree. She placed her newborn child in the swing and went to a lake to take a bath. While she was returning, after her bath, a wild clephant which happened to come there suddenly seized her with its trunk and tossed her up into the air using all its strength. Just at that moment, the Vidhyadhar who was flying by his Vimana (Magical air-ship) saved her life. Fascinated by her beauty, he thought of taking her to his capital and making her his queen. Let us see what happened later. After he listened to the precepts of the great sage, his lust disappeared and abated and ebbed out; and he began to look upon Madan Rekha as his sister. Not only this; he took an oath never to desire the company of other women.
