Cakshus (son of Ripu)

Cakshus · cakshus, “the eye”

Cakshus is the son of Ripu and Bṛhatī, in the line of Dhruva, and the father of Cākshusha Manu. The Brahma Purāṇa calls him full of every tejas.

In the line of Dhruva

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that from Dhruva, Śambhu bore Ślishṭi and Bhavya. From Ślishṭi, Succhāyā bore five sons: Ripu, Ripuñjaya, Vīra, Vṛkala and Vṛkatejas. From Ripu, Bṛhatī bore Cakshus, full of every tejas, and he begot Cākshusha Manu in Vairaṇī, the daughter of Prajāpati Vīraṇa.
