Śīghraga
Śīghraga · śīghra-ga, “the swift-goer”
Śīghraga, “the swift-goer”, is a wondrous vimāna that the brāhmaṇa Buddhikovida made appear.
The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells of it in the account of Mahādevī, the daughter of Haridāsa. Mahādevī had asked to be given only to a man greater in qualities than herself. A wise brāhmaṇa named Buddhikovida came and showed Haridāsa his special vidyās: he did japa of a mantra, performed ārādhanā of the Devī, and made the vimāna Śīghraga appear. Charmed by these vidyās, Haridāsa judged him worthy of his daughter and chose him.
