Shanaishchara and Emperor Dasharatha
Dasaratha, emperor of Ayodhya, challenged Lord Shanaishchara to a duel as he prepared to cross his empire bringing drought and poverty. Lord Shanaishchara extolled Dasaratha's virtues and replied to him that "I can't skip my duties but I'm pleased with your courage. Great sage Rishyasringa can help you. Wherever Rishyasringa lives, that country will have no drought and dryness." Dasaratha, after receiving the blessings from Lord Shanaishchara, wisely arranged for his daughter to marry Rishyasringa so that he is always present in Ayodhya.
