in Hindu mythology, is one of the forms of the name of the moon-god. He is also the sovereign of the entire expanse of the air, in which he lives. He loved Tarci, the young and beautiful wife of Vyasha, and from this love the celebrated Buddha is said to have come. Vyasha adopted the latter as his son, and instructed him in all branches of science. (See CHANDRA).
