Dhruva’s glory was praised by Sage Narada in the sathram conducted by Prachethas. When Dhruva adopted Vanaprastham, his elder son Ulkala did not want to become the King. He was dispassionate and a renounce.

So, his younger son Valsara was enthroned and the lineage continued. Now we are entering into another interesting story of a  King in that lineage who was called Anga, and his son Venan.

Anga was a good ruler and once he conducted a mahayaga called Aswamedham. But the Devas did not accept the “Haviss” or Prasad of the Yagam. The sages explained that it was because he was childless and so there was no one to continue the lineage. Even though his present life time was Dharmic, he had done some Adharma  in a past life, hence he was not blessed with a son.

As per their advice, Anga conducted another Yagam for getting a “Satputra” – a good son. On the conclusion of the Yagam, a Deva appeared with “Payasam” in a golden vessel; the King’s wife Suneetha consumed it.  In the due course of time, she gave birth to a son, who was called Venan. Right from his childhood, Venan displayed all sorts of cruelty.
