Durjaya

Durjaya’s incident took place in satya yuga. Durjaya was the son of King Supratika and his wife Vidyutprabha. Durjaaya obtained both a boon and a curse from the sage Durvasa. The boon was that he would be invincible. And the curse was that he would be hard-hearted. Svayambhuva Manu had two sons named Hetri and Suhetri. These two raised an army and tried to destroy all the gods. Vishnu, however, assumed innumerable forms and met this army on Mount Sumeru. He completely devastated Hetri and Suhetri’s army. Hetri and Suhetri were the only who were left alive. They fled to Mount Mandara. Hetri had a daughter named Sukeshi and Suhetri had a daughter named Mishrakeshi. These daughters were exceedingly pretty.

When Durjaya paid a visit to Mount Mandara, he encountered these two sisters and fell in love with them. He married them and had two sons.

By Durvasa’s boon, Durjaya had become invincible. He conquered the three worlds and drove Indra out from heaven.
