Vishwamitra in Javed Nama by Allama Muhammad Iqbal
Vishwamitra was an legendary Indian sage in the ancient times who lived the life of a hermit in a forest near Bijnor in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. He was a Rishi [Jogi], and he had vowed that he would never go near a woman. Vishwamitra was tempted by a beautiful woman Menaka who was as beautiful as the moon. One day Menaka came to the Ashram to seek the blessings of the sage.
