| | Harishchandra, his wife and son Rohit were clad in divine clothes and garlands. | | | But she does not know that I myself have become the slave of a Chandaal.' After a few days, the Chandaal appointed Harishchandra as the supervisor of the cremation place and instructed him to be there present all the time and to cremate each dead body only after thorough investigation. | | | He also instructed him to collect the toll for cremating every dead body and divide it in such a way that one sixth part of the toll goes to the king and from the remaining five parts, three parts should be reserved for him he should take only the remaining two parts as his remuneration. |

| | Raajaa Harishchandra was the son of Satyavrat or popularly known as Trishanku in Soorya Vansh and was the king of Ayodhyaa. | | | Indra asked, "Do you find anybody who sticks to truth at this time, on earth?" Vashishth Jee said, "Raajaa Harishchandra is like that." Vishwaamitra said, "No, he is not." Argument grew hotter and ended up in testing Harishchandra for his truthfulness by Vishwaamitra Jee. | | | He is not a main character of any religious book as such, but it is good to know about him because he involves two great Rishi - Vishwaamitra and Vashishth. |

| | Raja Harishchandra was the son of Triksankhu, of Ishwaku lineage (Lord Rama was also of the Ishwaku lineage), and ruled Ayodhya in North India. | | | When a son was born, Harishchandra and Taramati’s joy grew no bounds; but very soon, like dark rain clouds covering a clear sky, the words of Lord Varuna halted their pleasure. | | | From now on, I shall rigorously practice truth in my daily conduct.” From then on, Harishchandra live the life of truthfulness and soon became renowned as “Satyavrata” — an observer of truth. |
