Bhagirath is then introduced as the son of King Sagar. Sagar had 60,000 sons, all of whom were killed by a sage named Kapila. In order to bring his sons back to life, Bhagirath undertook a long and arduous journey to Mount Kailash, where he met Lord Shiva. Shiva agreed to grant Bhagirath's wish, but only on the condition that he would bring the Ganges River to the earth. Bhagirath then returned to Ayodhya and began to perform austerities. After many years, Lord Shiva was impressed by Bhagirath's devotion and agreed to bring the Ganges River to the earth. The river descended from heaven and flowed through the land, bringing fertility and prosperity to all who lived there. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the Ganges River in Hindu mythology and culture.
