Ambarisha was an Ikshvaku king and the son of Mandhatri. He lived in Treta Yuga. He was a great devotee of Vishnu and through his great bhakti, lord Vishnu had offered him with Sudarshana Chakra. Once, Ambarisha performed the Ekadashi Vrata and at the time of completion of Ekadashi, Sage Durvasa visited his place and agreed to be his guest, also accepted to take food with him. Durvasa went for bathing in the river and returned after a long time, Meanwhile the king broke the fast on account of offering food to the guests. When he came to know that Amabrisha had taken food without his presence, he got angry and created a demon to kill him. But, since, he is being protected by the Sudharshana Chakra, Lord Narayana’s Sudarshana intervened and it tried to kill Rishi Durvasa himself. Durvasa approached Ambarisha and asked him to save from the Sudarsana Chakra, the mighty king also saved the sage from the Sudarsana Chakra.
