Story of Parīkṣit

There is a story about another Parīkṣit belonging to the Ikṣvāku dynasty of kings in chapter 192 of Vana Parva:

Once this Parīkṣit went after a deer while hunting in a forest and he traversed a long distance following it. On the way he felt tired by hunger and thirst. He saw a green grove and a river running still by its side, then. The king entered the waters of the river with his horse and after quenching the thirst of the horse and drinking some water to quench his own thirst, he bound the horse to a nearby tree and lay on the shores to take rest. Then he heard from somewhere a melodious song. The king raised his head and enjoying the music, waited to see the origin of it. Then a beautiful damsel appeared before him and the king talked with her and their conversation ended in the king requesting her to be his wife. The beautiful maiden consented on one condition that she should not be made to touch water. The king agreed and by that time the king’s followers came and the king took her to his palace in a decorated palanquin followed by his retinue. The king took her to a secret chamber and stayed with her allowing nobody to enter the room. The chief minister came to the palace and enqired what was happening there and the maidens attending on the queen said that it was strange that no water was allowed inside the room. Then the minister arranged a garden with beautiful flowers and fruits with no water anywhere and a pond in the middle in which water was not visible from outside. He then went to the king and told him of his arrangement and the king took his wife into the garden and started having amorous sport with her there. After some time they reached the pond; water was not visible and so they entered the pond. The moment they entered the pond they touched water and the queen disappeared in the water. The King asked the water of the pond to be emptied and then he saw a frog sitting at the bottom. The king accused the frog of having eaten the maiden and he started killing all the frogs of his state. The frogs became frightened and they went to their king and complained. The frogking in the garb of a maharṣi went and requested the king to stop this massacre of frogs but the king refused to yield saying that a frog had eaten his wife. Hearing that, the sage was shocked and revealing his identity said "Oh King, be pleased with me; I am Āyus, the king of the frogs. Your wife was my daughter. She is called Suśobhanā and she is an obstinate bad-natured girl. Even from times of old she has cheated many kings like this."

Hearing this the king pleaded to the frog-king to give him back Suśobhanā. He gave Suśobhanā to Parīkṣit. But he cursed his daughter that she would bear misbehaving children because of her cheating many kings before. Āyus disappeared then. Parīkṣit begot of Suśobhanā three princes named Śala, Bala and Dala. When Śala grew up Parīkṣit crowned him as king and left for the forests for doing penance. (Chapter 192, Vana-Parva).
