In olden days, when YamadAgnya Parashuram annihilated the entire warrior clan, the women of the warriors got pregnant with the Vedist brahmins, because Veda dictates that son begot by a surrogate sperm belongs to the married couple.

Once Saint BrihashPati approached Mamata – his pregnant sister-in-law, wife of Saint Utathya. But Mamata was not willing to sleep with BrihashPati. BrihashPati attempted to rape her and tried to enter her by force.

The unborn baby in Mamata's womb stopped his uncle's entry with his small feet. Angry BrihashPati cursed the unborn baby: "You will be blind".

Utathya's son was born blind. He was named DirghaAtma.

DirghaAtma took to Bovinism – a cult that practiced mating anywhere anytime, like animals.

The other priests were enraged at DirghaAtma's bovinism. They exiled him and DirghaAtma's sons floated him on a raft at their mother's command.

King Bali found the floating raft and took DirghaAtma home. The king wanted DirghaAtma to be the biological father of his children.

King asked her wife, Sudeshna, to sleep with Dirghatama. But Sudeshna did not like blind Dirghatama and sent her maid instead.

The maid – a low-caste, shudra woman – bore eleven children who grew up to be priests.

King Bali, however, kept insisting his wife.  Finally Sudeshna herself went to Dirghatama. Dirghatama touched her skin and said: "You will bear five mighty sons: Aanga, Banga, Kalinga, Pundra and Suksha. Each will rule a region after their own name.

That is the way the Bali dynasty was originated from DirghaAtma seed.
