Sarama (Samskrit : सरमा) or Devashuni (Samskrit : देवशुनी) is referred to as the Mother of Dogs and Indra's subordinate in the Rig Veda. Her son is referred to as Saarameya || सारमेय (Rig Veda 7.55.2). Legend goes that Panis stole the divine cows (गोग्रहणम् || gograhanam) and hid them in caves. Devashuni or Sarama, by Indra's orders goes in search and locates them thereby helps Indra release them. Rig veda has many references of Sarama (1.62.3, 1.72.8, 3.31.6, 4.16.8, 5.45.7 and 8, and in mandala 10).
