Orphaned when his mother Lopamudra gave up her life, the boy was raised by the peepal trees that sheltered him, and strengthened by the nectar of Chandra, the lord of trees.


On learning of his parents' fate, Pippalad blamed the gods and sought revenge — until a boon from Lord Shiva produced a horse-like demon that turned on Pippalad himself, teaching him that his own body was born of the gods. A story of anger, wisdom and reconciliation, best enjoyed with our Devgatha episode on Sage Dadhichi as its prequel.

In this episode, we narrate the legend of Rishyashringa, the sage with a horn, born of the sage Vibhandak and a celestial deer who was once an Apsara. Raised in a hermitage deep in the forest, away from all human habitation, the young sage knew nothing of the world — until the drought-stricken kingdom of Anga sent its courtesans to bring him to their land, for the rains would fall only when the foremost among celibates conducted a yajna there. Disguised as a religious student, the chief courtesan's daughter charmed the innocent sage and brought him to King Romapada, where Indra's withheld rains finally fell. A tale of innocence, desire and a father's anger that turned into a blessing, narrated here by King Dasharath's charioteer, Sumantra.

In this episode, we bring you the legend of Rishi Chyawan — the sage after whom the familiar household tonic Chyawanprash is named. We begin with his extraordinary birth: how the unborn child of Sage Bhrigu, glowing like the sun, sprang from his mother's womb to save her from the rakshasa Puloma, and how a father's anger led Bhrigu to curse Agni, the god of fire. In the second part, we tell the tale of Princess Sukanya, whose careless curiosity blinded the aged sage — and whose devotion as his wife was tested by the Ashwini twins, who restored his youth and sight but made him identical to themselves, forcing Sukanya to pick her husband from three identical men. A story of curiosity, atonement and devotion rewarded.
