The story of Jarasandha.

                                         The story of Jarasandha.

Long ago, there was aking by the name Bruhadratha. He had 2 wives. But he didnt have any children. King was much stressed by this.
That time, a saint gave Bruhadrautha a fruit and said to give that to queen and because of that he will get a child. Since King was having 2 wives, he halved the fruit and gave each half to his 2 wives. Because of that, his wives had become pregnant.
Days passed and each of them gave birth but to part of the baby. By seeing that horrible sight, Bruhadrautha ordered his soldiers to leave them in a forest. Soldiers did the same. But in the forest, a demon by the name Jara saw these 2 halves and attached them to one.
At that time, a baby was formed in a full version. By seeing that, Jara was horrified and gave that baby to King and said all that happened. Bruhadrutha instantly came to know that the baby is  his and since Jara has able to attach i.e. Sandhi , the baby is optly named as Jarasandha.
