BHARADWAJA

Demon Shambara

When demon Shambara, came to know that Vaarashikhas were dead, he was furious like a serpent. He was also wicked like Vaarashikhas and was proud thinking that there was none to equal him.

Shambara was the chief of a hilly country adjoining Kashi Kingdom. He was the chief -of a hundred towns. A number of kings had accepted defeat at his hands. He was a prime enemy of Divodasa. He invaded Kashi kingdom with a huge army. The misfortune befell that kingdom when Divodasa was away

On hearing this, Divodasa returned to the capital. But before his arrival Shambara had devastated the land of Kashi. There was commotion and misery everywhere.
