381 APPENDIX C. Respecting Divodás, Professor Wilson says:-"Some rather curious legends are connected with this prince, in the Váyu and Brahma Puráņas, and Hari Vamsa, and, especially, in the Káśí Khanda of the Skanda Purána. According to these authorities, Siva and Párvatí, desirous of occupying Káśi, which Divodása possessed, sent Nikumbha, one of the Ganas of the former, to lead the prince to the adoption of Buddhist doctrines; in consequence of which, he was expelled from the sacred city, and, according to the Váyu, founded another on the banks of the Gomatí. "Some further illustration is derivable from the Mahábhárata, Santi-Parvan, Dána-dharma. Haryaśwa, the king of the Kásis, reigning between the Ganges and the Yamuná (or in the Doab), was invaded and slain by the Haihayas, a race descended, according to this authority, from Saryáti, the son of Manu. Sudeva, the son of Haryaśwa, was also attacked and defeated by the same enemies. Divodása, his son, built and fortified Benares, as a defence against the Haihayas; but in vain; for they took it, and compelled him to fly. He sought refuge with Bharadwaja, by whose favour he had a son born to him, Pratardana, who destroyed the Haihayas, under their king Vitahavya, and re-established the kingdom of Kási."
