KANDU. A sage who was beguiled from long and severe austerities by Pramlochā, a nymph sent from heaven by Indra for this purpose. He lived with her some hundreds of years, which seemed to him only as a day, but he at length repudiated her and “went to the region of Vishnu.” Pramlochā gave birth, in an extraordinary manner, to his daughter Mārishā (q.v.).
