 == Philosophy of the Atman ==
-Virochana is included among the ancient Kings of prominence. (M.B. Santi Parva, Chapter 227, Stanza 50). There is a story about the quest for knowledge about universal and individual souls, by Indra and Virochana, in Chandogyopanisad, as given below. Once the Devas and the asuras approached Prajapati to learn about Brahman, the impersonal God. Prajapati told them : "Atman (soul) is the first tattva (Essential being) which is sinless, eternal, desire-less and unimaginable in the earth." Having heard this philosophy about the soul, the Devas selected Indra, and the asuras selected Virochana. To know the details, they sent them to Prajapati as his disciples. Indra and Virochana stayed with Prajapati for several years to know more about Atman. But Prajapati did not reveal to them the secret about Brahman. At last to test them Prajapati said "Your reflection that you see in water or mirror is the Atman (soul)." Virochana, who mistook what the Prajapati said as truth immediately took his bath, put on costly dress and ornaments and stood near water and saw his reflection in water. After that, taking the reflection for soul, he spread this doctrine among his people. With this the asuras accepted body as soul. But the Devas did not recognize this philosophy. They accepted the doctrine that Atman is that essence of Nature which is alien to body and mind and which is pure.
