how does the planet earth got the name PRITHVI

                           How does the planet earth got the name PRITHVI
Long ago, there lived a king named Vena. He was very powerful and he had won all the countries existed on world. But besides it, he was not a very good administrator. In his kingdom, people are having many problems. King is always busy in declaring war against other kings. The administration had totally ruined. People were fed up of this.
There lived holy saints in the kingdom. The troubled people took their woes near the saints. Saints listened to them patiently and decided to put an end to all the sorrows of people. So, they came to king's court and met him. They advised him of good administration.
King was not ready to listen to the good words. He insulted them. The saints got angry and in a rage, they killed him. Now, the kingdom is without king. Vena had a son named Prithu. Prithu disapproved his father's deeds. He tried to talk to his father also. But all went in vain.
Now, saints decided Prithu can be crowned king. Likewise they crowned him. Prithu treated his people as his own children. People spent happy lives under his rule.  The saints who crowned him, were happy with Prithu's rule as there is no complaint against him. They blessed the king saying from that day onwards, the kingdom ruled by prithu will be called PRITHVI.
Moral : Good work done by  people will be always remembered.
