Markandeya Purana details the story of Satyavaadi Raja Harishchandra. One day, while hunting in a forest, he heard a woman cry for help. He could not figure out where she was and started calling out for her. This disturbed the penance of sage Vishwamitra. He was angry and wanted to know why he was disturbing his penance.{{Citation needed}}
