Tapti
One day, King Panchal attacked the kingdom of king Sarvan. Panchal's army was bigger and stronger and soon defeated Sarvan's army. King Sarvan had to leave his kingdom; he started living in the forest. One day, Sage vashishtha came to his home. King Sarvan asked the sage vashishtha to bless him so that he could win his kingdom back. King Sarvan collected his army and challenged Panchal King to a battle. He fought very bravely and won his kingdom back.
Tapti, the daughter of Lord Surya, the sun god, had seen the courage
of King Sarvan in the war and fell in love with him. She decided to find out
whether King Sarvan would be willing to take her as his bride .
After becoming a king again, Sarvan went hunting. He saw a beautiful dear in the forest and chased it. After some time the deer
suddenly disappeared and a beautiful woman appeared before him. She
glowed like gold. The moment he set his eyes on her he fell in love with
her. He asked her who she was and she told him that she was Tapti, the daughter of Lord Surya. King Sarvan expressed his desire to marry
her. Trapti said that he would have to seek the permission of her
father. King Sarvan started performing tapasya to please Lord Surya . After twelve
days, Sage Vashishtha came to him and said that he himself would take his
proposal to Lord Surya .
