to
destroy all Rakshasa. He succeeded in killing a large number of them, before he
ended his sacrifice at the insistence of Basistha and another sage named
Pulasthya. They narrated the story of Chyavana as a precedent for leniency.
Tapasya:-
Menaka
was born during the churning of the ocean by the devas and asuras and was one
of the most beautiful apsaras (celestial nymph) in the world with quick
intelligence and innate talent but desired a family. Bishwamitra frightened the
gods and even tried to create another heaven- Indra, frightened by his powers,
sent Menaka from heaven to earth to lure him and break his meditation. Menaka
successfully incited Bishwamitra's lust and passion when he saw her beauty. She
succeeded in breaking the meditation of Bishwamitra. However, she fell in
genuine love with him and a baby was born to them who later grew in Sage
Kanva's ashram and came to be called Sakuntala. Later Sakuntala falls in love
with King Drushyanta and gives birth to a child called Bharata. But he merely
cursed Menaka to be separated from him forever, for he loved her as well and
knew that she had lost all devious intentions towards him long ago.

For King Trisanku:-
*But
he was King Trisanku....?
Trisanku,
was the king of old Ayodhya. His real name was Satyabrata, he was the son of
Suryabanshi King Nibandhan(from a source we know) or in some source his father
name was Prithu.
Satyavrata
committed three sins, and hence he got the name Trishanku. First, while a
prince, he misbehaved in the kingdom and was temporarily exiled. Next, he
killed the milch cow of his perceptor Basistha. His third sin was that he used
the unsanctified meat of his kill as food.
He wished to ascend to heaven in his mortal body, and asked his perceptor Basistha to do the needful rights. Basistha refused, for it was against the laws of nature. He then approached the sons of Basistha. They were angry that the King had asked them, deeming it an insult to their father, so the cursed the King to become afflicted with a debilitating disease.
