Sacrifice of Dhadichi
Dhadichi was a saint. At that time, there was a demon named Vrutrasura. He had got a boon that anything made from wood or metal can not kill him. This made him invincible day by day. Since there is always fight happens between devas and demons, Vrutrasura now eyes heaven. Because of his trouble and also their inability to win over him, devas all went near Bhagawan Vishnu.
Vishnu listened to problems faced by devas. He knew that the demon got a boon . Vishnu said to devas that if ammunition made by bones of a saint, it will help them to win over the demon. He said saint named Dhadichi may help them.
Listening to that all the devas including their king Indra, went near saint. They said their problem to him and also said the remedy recommanded by Vishnu. After listening to that , Dhadichi smilingly said that it is a great honour for him that devas selected him for the noble cause. He said he will attain his death by yoga and after that devas can use his bones for making ammunition.
Likewise, devas made Vajrayudha from his back bone and many other ammunition from his bones. With that ,devas could kill the demon in their next battle. Dhadichi was henceforth remembered for his sacrifice so that devas could win over demon.
