Ayutāyu (अयुतायु) or Ayutāyus is the son of Sindhudvīpa and grandson of Nabhāga, according to the Vaṃśānucarita section of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, [...] Śruta was the son of Bhagiratha. Nabhāga was the son of Śruta. Nabhāga gave birth to Sindhudvīpa from whom was born Ayutāyu (or Ayutāyus). Ṛtuparṇa was the son of Ayutāyu who attained the status of the Leader of Gaṇas by the grace of Lord Śiva.
Ayutāyu (or Ayutāyus) is known as Ayutāśva in the Viṣṇupurāṇa chapter IV.4
