HARISCHANDRA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 953 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HARISCHANDRA , in Hindu
mythology
 , the 28th king of the
Solar
  race. He was renowned for his piety and
justice
 . He is the central figure of legends in the Aitareyabrahmana, Mahabharata and the Markandeyapurana. In the first he is represented as so desirous of a son that he vows to Varuna that if his
prayer
  is granted the boy shall be eventually sacrificed to the latter. The child is
born
 , but Harischandra, after many delays, arranges to
purchase
  another's son and make a vicarious sacrifice. According to the Mahabharata he is at last promoted to
Paradise
  as the
reward
  for his munificent charity.
