KING AJA

INTRODUCTION
King Aja was the ancient king of the Solar
Dynasty, and the worshipper of Lord Surya. He
was born in the Treta Yuga, and he was good at
handling weapons and was a great scholar and an
expert in all kinds of arts. He was the son of
king Raghu , who was considered as a great
emperor of the Ikshvaku dynasty, and his
grandfather was the noble king Dileepa. He ruled
the kingdom of Ayodhya in a well-versed manner.
His wife was Indumati, who was a chaste and a
worshipful queen, and his son was Dasharatha,
father of Lord Rama.
Indumati in her previous birth was an apsara in the
Indra Loka. Since as per the instructions of Lord
Indra, she disturbed the penance of the great
Sage Trinabindu, and he cursed her to take birth in
the earth. Due to that, she was born as the
Vidarbha Kingdom Princess and got married with
king Aja. After some time, Indumati had got
relieved from her curse, and went back to the
Indra Lok. King Aja could not tolerate her absence,
and died shortly. And after his death, it is believed
that he had attained SALVATION.
After the death of Aja and Indumati, child Dasarata
was taken care of by his relatives, and after he
attained teenage, he was crowned as the king of
Ayodhya.
Let us worship the great king Aja and be blessed.
