This resulted in havoc and wailing everywhere due to the famine.<br /><br /> 3 The worried sages decided to resolve the problem for which they took a blade of grass and flung it towards the king after chanting few mantras. <br /><br /> 4 The greedy king was instantly killed but the kingdom was left without an heir. So the sages churned his corpse. From that matter, a dark creature had first appeared. <br /><br /> 5 They removed all that was savage and the body was now pure in the remnants out of which the sages created a new king called Prithu or Prithi. <br /><br /> 6 According to Vedic scriptures, Prithu is an avatar of Lord Vishnu and is also considered as a Chakravartin.<br /><br /> 7 To end the famine, Prithu approached the earth-cow and requested for her milk, but she refused and fled away. <br /><br /> 8 Prithu had to chase the earth-cow and he raised his bow to threaten her. He explained to her that he needs to domesticate the earth to feed the humanity. <br /><br /> 9 The earth agreed but on a condition that it should be done moderately. And so, by granting life to the earth, Prithu became her protector and she accepted the name "Prithvi".<br /><br /> 10 To get more spiritual videos, Stay tuned to Artha Channel<br /><br />Like us @ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ArthaChannel/ <br />Check us out on Google Plus - https://goo.gl/6qG2sv <br />Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ArthaChannel <br />Follow us on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/arthachannel/ <br />Follow us on Pinterest - https://in.pinterest.com/channelartha/ <br />Follow us on Tumblr - https://www.tumblr.com/blog/arthachannel
