== Trishanku ==
Trishanku is the celebrated name of Satyavrata, the son of Tribandhana. He kidnapped the daughter of a brahmana when she was being married. His angered father cursed him to become a candala. Thereafter, by the influence of Vishvamitra, he went to the higher planetary system, the heavenly planets, in his self-same body, but because of the prowess of the devatas he fell back downward. Nonetheless, by the power of Vishvamitra, he did not fall all the way down; even today it is mentioned he can still be seen hanging in the sky, head downward. <ref name=":1"> Srimad Bhagavatam canto 9 [7.5-6] ''[https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/9/7/5.htm]''</ref>
