Amogha (1)

The wife of the sage Shantanu. Once when Brahma visited Shantanu’s ashram, the latter had gone out and it was Amogha who took care of Brahma. Brahma felt a pang of lust for Amogha and ejaculated. He was ashamed of himself and left the ashram. When Shantanu got back, he understood from his wife the origin of the semen he saw on the ground. He then told Amogha not to waste it. Though she was devoted to her husband and accepted it, she could not hold it for too long and deposited it in the Yugandhara mountains. From then on, the place became a holy place known as Lohita. As per Padmapurana Srishtikanda, this was where Parashurama bathed to rid himself of the sin of killing kshatriyas.
