Life
Marriage
Gritachi was an accomplished dancer. Kushanabha was infatuated with her after seeing her dance. After that he married her and had 100 daughters with her.[3][4]
Birth of Gaadhi
Kushanabha had 100 daughters but no male successor to his thrown. So he started worshipping lord Indra and performed austerities wishing to have a son like Indra. At last Indra consented and became his son, by incarnation, being born as Gaadhi.[5]
