Part 12: The childhood of Sudarśana and Puruṣasiṃha

The two boys grew up, cared for by nurses, playing together, wearing dark blue and yellow garments, with palm tree- and garuḍa-banners. They, attentive, seized the arts, like a deposit near at hand which they had made themselves, making their teacher only a witness. Gradually the brothers became of military age and shone like rivals of heaven and earth. Devoted to each other like the two Aśvins,^[1] who were full brothers, exceedingly devoted to their father, they acted as his footmen.
