312. Nahushah -The term " Nahanmn " means bondage, therefore, the term

stands for " One who is familiar with bondages, " ln Vedanta, the

word `Isvarah' is the Supreme Consciousness conditioned by the total-

Causal-Body (Maayaa); at the same time, Isvara is One who has the

Maayaa under His control, It can also be understood as " One who bind,

all creatures of the world with the cord of Maayaa. " Those who are

students of the Puranas interpret this word as One whose glory was

expressed in the spectacular magnificence in Nahushah, who gained the

Office of Indra.
