In the lineage of Harishchandra, there was a king named Bahuk. Bahuk lost his kingdom to his enemies and started living in the jungle at the hermitage of rishi Aurva. Bahuk died of old age and weakness.
After Bahuk’s death, his wife decided to burn herself but was stopped by Aurva rishi, for the queen was pregnant with the heir to the dynasty.
When enemies of the dynasty found out about the queen’s pregnancy, they tried to cause miscarriage by feeding her poison, GAR.
The boy survived and was born with the GAR, hence was called Sagar.
Sagar grew up to become an illustrious ruler who defeated all his enemies and revived the rule of the great solar dynasty.
