King Citraketu's Lamentation
25
sponsibly desired to beget a child so that he and his forefathers might be delivered from the darkest regions. He was concerned with how to get  piṇḍa , oblations, in the next life, not only for himself but also for his forefathers. Therefore he requested Aṅgirā Rṣi to favor him by doing something that could help him get a son.

In response to the request of Mahārāja Citraketu, Aṅgirā Rṣi, who was born of Lord Brahmā's mind, was very merciful toward him. Because the sage was a greatly powerful personality, he performed a sacrifice by offering oblations of sweetrice to Tvaṣṭā.
