Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
An ancient king of the Ikṣvāku lineage who excavated the ocean and had sixty thousand sons.
Among them was Sagara by name — he by whom the ocean was excavated, whose sixty thousand sons encircled him as he journeyed.
There was formerly a heroic king, lord of Ayodhyā, a ruler of men named Sagara, righteous in soul, longing for offspring, yet he was without children.
