Çatamukha, an Asura. § 730f (Anuçaṣanik.): Dhātṛ created the great Asura Ç., who for a hundred years sacrificed the flesh of his own body into the sacrificial fire. Gratified by this, Çiva granted him yoga (i.e. candra-sūrya-parjanya-pṛthivyādi-sṛṣṭi-sāmarthyam, Nil.) and eternal power: XIII, 14, 674 (mahāsuraḥ), 675.
