Ruchi
Ruchi Muni was unmarried and as a bachelor was not eligible to Agni Karyas. Pirtru Devatas
appeared and lamented that they were unable to receive any contributions to them; only Grihastis
could pronounce ‘Swaha’ to Agni and ‘Swadha’to satisfy Pitru Devatas and the Muni was disabled to
satisfy the two other kinds of ‘Runas’ or indebtedness to Devas and ‘Atithis’ also. But Ruchi Muni
argued with the Pitru Devatas that ‘Atma Samyam’ or Self-Control was essential to ‘Mukti’ or
Salvation and that he would like to avoid the slush of Samsara or family life. Pitru Devas then advised
Ruchi Muni that Vedas prescribed that Samsara was the natural ladder to Moksha and ‘Samyama’,
‘Niyama’ or Self Control and ‘Karma Phala’ or the fruits of duties and obligations were the steps of
the ladder. The Pitru Devatas further instructed that what was controversial was not the institution of
marriage but overcoming the limits of desire, decency and virtue and that Grihastya was the test of
life! Convinced by the instruction of the Pitru Devatas, Ruchi Muni finally agreed to family life and
performed Tapasya to Brahma; meanwhile Pitru Devatas located a suitable Apsara to wed the Muni
and Brahma blessed him with a glorious son who would be the next Manu viz. Rouchya.

According to our mythology, the dead mortals will reach the abode meant for such souls, if they have had virtuous deeds to their credit. All such manes absorb with the seven deities there, named 'Pithris'. The names of these deities are

Number of generations
The number of generations that get liberated depends upon the stature of the devotee. In Srila Prabhupader Upadesamrta (“The Nectarean Instructions of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada”), the following fact is presented by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur.
- “When a great saint, a pure devotee, appears in a family, his ancestors and descendants for a *hundred* generations are elevated.
- When a devotee of middle stature (madhyam bhagavat) appears in a family, his ancestors and descendants for *fourteen* generations are elevated.
- When a neophyte devotee appears in a family, his ancestors and descendants for *three* generations are elevated.”
