Parikshit

The son of Abhimanyu who inherited the Kuru throne from Yudhishthira. Krishna personally saved him in his mother’s womb, and thus the child was named Parikshit because he was searching (pariksheta) for the person who had protected him.

Sisupala (Sanskrit) Child-protector; a son of Damaghosha (King of Chedi), Krishna's great enemy, slain by him at the sacrifice of Yudhishthira. The Vishnu-Purana states that Sisupala was in a former existence the unrighteous but valiant monarch of the daityas, Hiranyakasipu, who was killed by the avatara Nara-simha (the man-lion).

He was next the ten-headed Ravana, the giant king of Lanka, and was killed by Rama. After this he was born as Sisupala. "This parallel evolution of Vishnu (spirit) with a Daitya, as men, may seem meaningless, yet it gives us the key not only to the respective dates of Rama and Krishna, but even to a certain psychological mystery" (SD 2:225n).

The empiricist believes only in experience of sense-contact and feels himself unable to rise above the dictates of the intellect.
