Desiring to get a perfect son and become an inhabitant of Pitrloka, Maharaja Agnidhra once worshiped Lord Brahma, the master of those in charge of material creation. He went to a valley of Mandara Hill, where the damsels of the heavenly planes come down to stroll. There he collected garden flowers and other necessary paraphernalia and then engaged in severe austerities and worship.
