Suteekshna His Disciple / Glory

http://www.valmikiramayan.net/aranya/sarga7/aranya_7_prose.htm

Dushpanya was a prince of Pataliputra. He was cruel and used to kills children for no reason (sadistic?). The king tried his level best to stop but was unsuccessful. He expelled the prince from the kingdom. Even after he went to forest, the prince did not mend his ways and killed the child of sage Ugrasravas by drowning the child in a river. Ugrasravas came to know of that and cursed Dushpanya to meet his own end by drowning. Dushpanya lost his life and became a Pretha (ghost?). Suffering terribly from his own misdeeds and finding no relief, Dushpanya finally went to Agastya and prayed to him for help. The sage took pity on the Pretha of Dushpanya and got the sacred waters from Agni Teertha from the Gandha Madana hills. He asked one of his disciples Suteekshna to sprinkle the holy water on the pretha. Relieved of the pretha body, Dushpanya went to heaven.
