AMITRAJIT . A King. In his country there were innu-

merable Śiva temples. Nārada Muni who was delighted

by this sight, went to the Palace and said to Amitrajit:

“In the city of Campakāvatī there is a Gandharva

virgin named Malayagandhinī. She has been abducted

by Kaṅkālaketu, a Rākṣasa. She has promised to marry

the person who will rescue her from him. Therefore

please save her from the Rākṣasa.” As suggested by

Nārada Amitrajit killed Kaṅkālaketu in battle and

recovered Malayagandhinī and married her. Vīra was

their son. (Skanda Purāṇa).
