your 100 princesses'. Fearing if he disobeyed an ascetic he might do something inauspicious, he told the ascetic - Lord, you may chose any one of my daughters yourself. Jamadagni chose one named Re uk and after marrying her, left for the hermitage.
Re uk had a sister named Tr. Tr was married to the king of Hastin pura, K rtav rya Sahasr rjuna. After sometime, Re uk gave birth to a son. Jamadagni gave his son his battle-axe and named him Para ur ma. One day, Re uk went to her sister Tr's house. At Hastin pura, T r extended royal hospitality to her sister. Attracted by the pleasures of the royal palace Re uk became enamoured of K rtav rya and started living with him indulging in sensual pleasures. When Jamadagni learnt of this, he brought Re uk back to the hermitage. When he told his son Para ur ma of Re uk 's bad behaviour, he chopped her head off his axe.

When he grew up Subh ma asked his mother who his father was and why is he being retained underground. On his requesting her persistently Tr told Subh ma the entire episode. Hearing the name of his father's murderer, Subh ma raged in anger. He asked, "mother, tell me where is that foe of mine who killed my father?” Mother T r said, “That savage stays in a city close by. To keep count of the Katriyas killed by him he has removed each Katriya's jaw-tooth and collected them in a huge platter.
