In ancient times, the birth of the supreme ascetic Maharishi Dadhichi, son of sage Atharva and mother Shanti, is celebrated as Dadhichi Jayanti on the Ashtami of Bhadrapada Shukla Paksha. The example of Maharishi Dadhichi, who sacrifices everything to protect the interests of his evil enemy, is not found anywhere else in the world.
Devraj Indra`s Bajra was formed from the bones of Maharishi Dadhichi and the demon Vritrasura was killed. In this way, Devraj Indra was saved by the sacrifice and selfless donation of a great benevolent sage, the three worlds were saved and Indra got his place again.
