While Yuvanasva inadvertently drank consecrated water planned for his sacrifice, the sages announced that a son would be born to the queen who had consumed the holy water. As he had infertility, the sages began a sacrifice to help him attain fatherhood. Yuvanasva, son of King Prasenajit and his wife Gauri, was a King of the Ikshvaku dynasty. This was probably an example of adoption, or surrogate motherhood, practiced with utmost confidentiality. Unable to beget children, he and his wife received their daughter Sita as a gift from mother Earth. Janaka, King of Mithila, tried a different mode of treatment. His son Amsumaan continued the Sagar dynasty. Kesini elected to have just one son, who turned out to be the cruel, lunatic murderer Asananjas.
Unfortunately, all of them met an untimely death at the hands of Sage Kapila in patala (Hell). Sumati opted to take an “ovulation inducer” which created 60000 capable sons. His wives Kesini and Sumati received medication from Sage Bhrigu who asked them to choose between two types of drugs. Sagar, the King of Ayodhya, was affected by infertility as well. It must be noted here that though Dashrath might have been the cause of subfertility (male factor), the treatment described was female-centric, and was the forerunner of induction of ovulation. These queens bore the princes Rama, Lakshmana, Shatrugan, and Bharata. The remaining one-eighth portion was given to Sumitra as well. This porridge was divided among his wives: Half was given to Kaushalya, the eldest wife, one-fourth to Sumitra, and one-eighth to Kaikeyi. Trying to achieve fertility, he conducted a horse sacrifice, and for this he received God-sent porridge. King Dashrath is perhaps the first reported case of infertility in the world.
