Aruni

Aruni, a devoted disciple of the sage Ayoda-Dhaumya, is known for his selfless act of using his own body to stop a breach in a water channel, an event that showcases his unwavering commitment to his guru’s teachings. Hailing from Panchala, Aruni’s sacrifice and dedication earned him the name Uddalka and the blessing of Vedic knowledge from Ayoda-Dhaumya. His story is a powerful example of obedience, sacrifice, and the bond between a disciple and his preceptor in ancient Indian lore.
