Kolahala

Kolahala was the mountain which, maddened by lust, once attacked the river Suktimati near Chedi capital . Vasu Uparichara, beholding the foul attempt, struck the mountain with his foot. By the indentation caused by Vasu's stamp, the river came out of the embraces of Kolahala. But the mountain begat on the river two children that were twins. The river, grateful to Vasu for his having set her free from Kolahala's embraces, gave them both to Vasu. The son was made the generalissimo to his forces by Vasu. The daughter called Girika, was wedded by Vasu.
