NAMUCI II. An army-captain of Hiraṇyākṣa. In the battle with Indra, Namuci made him unconscious and the elephant Airāvata thrust its tusks on the ground. After that by his magic and sorcery he created many creatures. But Viṣṇu destroyed all those creatures with his discus Sudarśana. At last Indra killed Namuci. (Padma Purāṇa, Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa).
