Ribuan tahun yang lalu, ada seorang raja yang sangat perkasa bernama Vishvamitra. Kerajaannya luas, makmur, & damai.
Suatu hari, sang raja ingin "blusukan" menjelajah negerinya. Diikuti pasukan-pasukan terbaiknya, ia mengunjungi seluruh pelosok negeri.

Karena luasnya, perjalanan mereka memakan waktu lama. Suatu hari mereka sampai ke padepokan Resi Vasistha. Beliau dikenal sebagai 'Brahma-resi', yaitu resi yang telah mencapai kesadaran tertinggi, 'manunggal' dengan Hyang Agung.
