NANDABHADRA   A righteous Vaiśya. Having been childless for a long time this Vaiśya, who was an ardent devotee of God Kapileśvara, got a son in his old age. But he died after his marriage. With this calamity Nandabhadra became a man of abstinence and began to try to acquire spiritual knowledge. After a while a seven-year-old boy appeared before the Vaiśya and quenched his thirst for spiritual knowledge. Later with meditation on Śiva and the Sun, Nandabhadra attained heaven. [Skanda Purāṇa, Chapters 1, 2 and 46] .
