ŚUNASSAKHA   Indra. Once Indra disguised himself as a Sannyāsī and travelled in the company of a dog. At that time, he made an attempt to steal lotus flower from Brahmasaras in Kauśikī tīrtha. Indra struck down at a single blow, Yātudhānī, the woman guard of the saras, who opposed him. From this time when Indra went about in the company of the dog, he got the name “Śunassakha”. [M.B. Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 94] .
