Bhagiratha and the Story of Ganga

Bhagiratha and the Story of Ganga

Please refer to the text for  questions:

a) There was a fierce battle between the asuras and the gods. The asuras hid in the
waters of the ocean during the day and came out at night and attacked the gods.
The gods went to Agastya seeking his help. The sage sucked in his breath and
drank the water from the ocean till it became a dry bed. The asuras had no hiding
place and they were defeated by the gods.

b) King Sagara was grief stricken because his sons were burnt to ashes by one look
from Sage Kapila’s eyes.

c) Ganga was unwilling to come down to Earth as she was insolent and did not
want to leave heaven.

d) On Earth, Ganga flowed joyously and ceaselessly. Her rippling water flowed
over plains and danced over cliffs. Her water filled the empty ocean and there
was water on earth.
