  In the ancient kingdom of Kosala, there lived a renowned sage named Yajnavalkya who was famous throughout the land for his wisdom, his devotion to the gods, and his powerful magical abilities. His hermitage was situated in a peaceful grove beside a sacred river, where he spent his days in meditation, prayer, and the study of divine scriptures.

  Yajnavalkya had never married, having devoted his entire life to spiritual pursuits. However, as he grew older, he began to feel lonely in his isolated hermitage and wished he had a daughter to care for and to carry on his teachings.
