Pakṣu, n. of a nāga king: °ur Mvy 〔3307〕. Cf. Vakṣu. Tib. Pag-śu. But it seems to be a river-name
the three preceding names are Gaṅgā-, Sindhur, and Sītā-nāgarājā
similarly in MSV 〔i.164.1〕. (Nāgas are often thought of as living in rivers, as is well known
cf. Mvy 〔3304—6〕.) Since Vakṣu occurs as n. of a river in Skt., it is probably the correct form.
