Sūta said: When the twentieth cycle of yugas sets in, the sage Gautama becomes a Vyāsa. Then I shall be born by the name Aṭṭahāsa, most liked by the people. There itself on the ridge of the Himavat a great mountain Aṭṭahāsa[18] is the abode of Devas, Dānavas, Yakṣas, Siddhas and Cāraṇas. There too, powerful sons will be born to me. They will be yogic and noble souls, habitually meditating and performing the holy rites. They will be known as Sumantu, Barbari, Kabandha and Kuśikandhara. After attaining the Yoga of Maheśvara they will go to Rudraloka.
