Rcika

A

A husband naturally has some affection for his wife. Therefore Satyavati's mother thought that the oblation prepared for Satyavati by the sage Rcika must have been better than her own oblation

F

From the marriage of Satyavati with Rcika Muni would come a son with the spirit of a ksatriya. King Gadhi demanded that an uncommon request be fulfilled before the brahmana Rcika could marry his daughter

H

I

In Rcika's absence, the mother (of Satyavati) took the better oblation from Satyavati and ate it

K

King Gadhi had a daughter named Satyavati, whom a brahmana sage named Rcika requested from the King to be his wife. King Gadhi, however, regarded Rcika as an unfit husband for his daughter

M

Meanwhile, because Satyavati's mother thought that the oblation prepared for her daughter, Rcika's wife, must be better, she asked her daughter for that oblation. Satyavati therefore gave her own oblation to her mother, ate her mother's oblation herself

R

Rcika Muni's wife & mother-in-law, each desiring a son, requested the Muni to prepare an oblation. Thus Rcika prepared one oblation for his wife with a brahmana mantra & another for his mother-in-law with a ksatriya mantra. Then he went out to bathe

S

Satyavati, however, pacified Rcika Muni with peaceful words and requested that her son not be like a fierce ksatriya. Rcika Muni replied, "Then your grandson will be of a ksatriya spirit." Thus Jamadagni was born as the son of Satyavati

T

The great sage Rcika was very angry, but somehow or other Satyavati pacified him, and at her request he changed his mind. It is indicated here (in SB 9.15.11) that the son of Jamadagni would be born as Parasurama
