\nGh\u1e5bt\u0101c\u012b (\u0918\u0943\u0924\u093e\u091a\u0940) is the name of a beautiful damsel (kany\u0101), with black curly hair and red lips, according to the Var\u0101hapur\u0101\u1e47a chapter 92. Gh\u1e5bt\u0101c\u012b (and other innumerable ladies) arose out of the agitation of Vai\u1e63\u1e47av\u012b while she was doing penance at Vi\u015b\u0101l\u0101. For these young women, Vai\u1e63\u1e47av\u012b created the city Dev\u012bpura, containing numerous mansions with golden balconies, crystal stairs and water fountains, with jewelled windows and gardens.<\/p>\n
Vai\u1e63\u1e47av\u012b is the form of Trikal\u0101 having a red body representing the energy of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u. Trikal\u0101 is the name of a Goddess born from the combined looks of Brahm\u0101, Vi\u1e63\u1e47u and Mahe\u015bvara (\u015aiva).<\/p>\n
The Var\u0101hapur\u0101\u1e47a is categorised as a Mah\u0101pur\u0101\u1e47a, and was originally composed of 24,000 metrical verses, possibly originating from before the 10th century. It is composed of two parts and S\u016bta is the main narrator.<\/p>\n

\nGhritachi was an Apsara, a dancer in the court of Indra. She is the spiritual mother of Drona and the sage Shuka. In both cases, she was merely the cause for their birth. When the sage Bharadwaja saw the semi-nude form of this Apsara, his vital fluid emerged from his body and was stored in a water vessel by him. The son born of that vessel was Drona. See here.<\/p>\n
When the sage Vyasa beheld the beautiful form of this nymph, he was preparing the sacrificial fire. The Apsara transformed herself into a parrot. The vital fluid of the Rishi fell on the Arani sticks and his son Shuka was born from them. See here.<\/p>\n
She was also the mother of the sage Ruru, who was begotten on her by Pramati, the son of sage Chyavana.<\/p>\n

\nJainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, \u2018self-reliance\u2019) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n
