Vishwambhar

The new-born child was named Vishwambhar. But the women, seeing that his mother had lost so many children before him, gave him the disparaging name of Nimái or 'short-lived,' in order to propitiate Nemesis. The neighbours called him Gaur or Gauránga ('fair complexioned') on account of his marvellous beauty.
