Viṣṇupurāṇa chapter IV.3) is another name for Bāhu: the son of Kuruka and grandson of Vijaya, according to the Vaṃśānucarita section of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, [...] Dhundhu (or Cuñcu in the Viṣṇupurāṇa) had two sons—Sudeva and Vijaya. Kuruka (or Ruruka) was born to Vijaya. Vṛka was born of Kuruka, and from Vṛka was born Bāhu (or Bāthuka). The illustrious king Sagara was the son of Bāhu and Aṃśumān was born from Sagara.
