Sukandara · sukandara

Sukandara is a mlecchapati named in the Pratisarga Parva. The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells that Kali prayed to Bali, and Bali, grieved, called the daitya Maya and said: “Daityendra, the mlecchapati named Sukandara is ever intent on our advancement. As I order, help him.” Maya, skilled in jyotir-vidyā, then came to the karmabhūmi with a hundred daityas and taught the mlecchas the Rekhāgaṇita of twenty-one chapters with jyotir-gaṇita, and with it they had yantras made in all seven purīs.
