Because the King was able to make everyone peaceful by the touch of his hand, his name was Śāntanu. Once, when there was no rainfall in the kingdom for twelve years, the brāhmaṇas said, "You are faulty for enjoying the property of your elder brother. For the prosperity of your kingdom and home, you should return the kingdom to him." Indra (vibhuḥ) did not shower rain. Smṛti says dārāgnihotra-saṁyogaṁ kurute yo ’graje sthite parivettā sa vijṣeyaḥ parivittis tu pūrvajaḥ: the person who gets married and performs sacrifice while the older brother is present is called parivettā and the elder brother is called parivitti. Though your elder brother lives (unmarried), you have married and enjoyed first and have enjoyed the kingdom. You are a parivettā. Because of this fault Indra does now shower rain. Therefore return the kingdom to him.
