CŪLI. A sage. Once Somadā, daughter of a gandharva women Ūrmilā, looked after this sage and well pleased with her service he asked her what she wanted and Somadā asked for a son by him. Cūli gave her a spiritual son of his and the boy was named Brahmadatta. This Brahmadatta married the hundred hunch-backed daughters of Kuśanābha. (Bāla Kāṇḍa, Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa).
