Ashwini Kumars

ASHWINI KUMARS

Bhujyu, the prince of Tugra, was shipwrecked and afloat in a treacherous sea. Sage Atri and his sons were doomed to certain death in a deep pit. Both were staunch devotees of the Ashwins, twin deities next in importance only to Indra, Agni and Soma. They appealed to them for help and were not disappointed. The two stories in this Amar Chitra Katha are developed solely from the Vedas.
