He had a son named Ugrashravaa, popularly known as Soot Jee. He hs told many religious stories to people.

Romharshan was killed by Balaraam Jee. When Balaraam Jee went on Teerth Yaatraa, just before MBH war, he came to Naimish Aranya land where Romharshan was telling Kathaa. Seeing Balaraam Jee neither he got up nor he greeted him. Seeing this Balaraam Jee got very angry, he picked up a straw and hit him with it. He instantly died.
