mountains where they were attacked by the Asuras namely ‘Kesin’. On hearing the cries Indra came out
and rescued Devasena. This incident instilled fear in Devasena and she desperately wanted a tough
husband who can overpower all evils in all the three worlds. But Indra thought that it would be tough to
find such and in the mean time the moon and the sun were in conjunction and Indra thought that if a child
is born at this time he would be surely very strong. So Indra took her to Brahma so he said "Fear not,
Devasena will surely obtain a powerful husband. The seven great sages are conducting a sacrifice. Go
there, and accept their oblations. Everything else will take care of itself”. So Indra and some others went
there and accepted the offerings given by AGNI. Meanwhile all the oblations completes and every one went
home but Agni did not because he knew that he was smitten by the desire and beauty of the seven princess.

princess have spotted agni and they too are passionate for agni and in darkness X took Agni to a dark
forest, fearing that she may be identified she took the form of a bird and carried the seed of Agni and
dropped in the golden lake. This continued for the next five days on the seventh day she could not
transform herself into ‘Arundhuti’ and she was at a mess. Suddenly she realized that the first seed which
she dropped in the lake was on the first day of the lunar month and this gave rise to Y with twelve arms,

23. #Q. The 7.74 billion (US$121 million) project is being created in three phases through
2008 by the Airport Authority of India with the help of the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO) technology and space support.
MECHANISM : The reference stations pick up signals from the orbiting GPS
satellites. The measurements are immediately passed on to the mission control centres
that then work out the necessary corrections that must be made. Messages carrying
those corrections are sent via the uplink stations to the satellites in geostationary orbit
that have the X payload. The satellites then broadcast the messages. The SBAS
receivers use those messages and apply the requisite corrections to the GPS signals,
thereby establishing their position with considerable accuracy.
Application : X will provide augmentation service for GPS over the country, Bay of
Bengal, South East Asia and Middle East expanding up to Africa.
Other operational are: EGNOS, MSAS, WAAS, SDCM.
