Till here, it is a common story between rvand later texts.rv acknowledges kaksivan as his son. when dt approaches the queenfor a union, he replaces herself with her servant maid and kaksivan,an artisan, is born.kaksivan who was not getting a wife is presented with 'Vrcha' byindra.on the other hand, vayu purana says he did beget sons from the queenand all these sons, vanga, pundra, andhra etc are connected witheastern coast.even his other son, dhanvantari, is connected with sea.kishore India Matrimony: Find your partner online.
