Spiritual entity in Hinduism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vrishakapi (Sanskrit: वृषाकपिः, IAST: Vṛṣākapi) is an epithet that is used in Hinduism to describe the gods Surya, Vishnu, Shiva and Indra.[1] But the word first appears in the Rig Veda where is it refers to a friend of the god Indra. The character has been described as a prototype of the later Hanuman.[2][3] The term itself translates to "virile" or "large" monkey.[4]
