Kakutstha is the father of Go, the wife of King Yayāti, son of Nahusha. The Brahma Purāṇa names him only as her father.
His daughter Go
The Purāṇa tells the line of Nahusha. Nahusha, a great tapasvin, begot in Virajā, a daughter of the pitṛs, six sons equal to Indra: Yati, Yayāti, Saṃyāti, Āyāti, Yāti and Sumāti. Of them Yayāti became king, and Yayāti, supremely dhārmika, married Go, the daughter of Kakutstha. Yati became a muni, kept to the path of moksha and attained the state of Brahman.
