In a wood like Caitraratha, Indra transformed himself into wind and mixed up the clothes of some bathing maidens. A quarrel about the clothes resulted in *D.*'s being thrown into a well by Çarmiṣṭhā, the daughter of Vṛṣaparvan. Yayāti found her and drew her up by her right hand, and then returned to his capital. Devayānī sent Ghūrṇikā to inform Çukra of what had passed (I, 76-79). Çukra threatened Vṛṣaparvan that he would leave the Asuras, until Çarmiṣṭhā, together with 1,000 maidens, was given to *D.* (I, 80).
