Maa MahaMaya

One of the functions of puranas is to chronicle the history of the ruling dynasties. Here was the brief account of Surata’s reign.

And it establishes the character of King Surata as a very virtuous ruler and further introduces a merchant called Samadhi. He is also a very good person and righteous man, who also suffered a similar fate. Having suffered betrayal  and loss, they join together and enter into the ashram of Rishi Medha. But with all that, they are still stuck in their thoughts of worry for their wife, kids and kingdom accordingly.
