पुराणम्

English

विशाख १ / VIŚĀKHA I. One of the three brothers of Skandadeva. The other two were śākha and naigameya. There is a story regarding them in mahābhārata,  śānti Parva,  as follows:--
Skandadeva approached his father śiva. At that time śiva,  pārvatī,  agni and gaṅgā,  all wished in their minds that skanda should come to him or her. Understanding the desire of each,  by Yogabala (the power obtained by union with the Universal Soul) skanda divided himself into four persons,  skanda,  viśākha,  śākha and naigameya and went to each of them respectively and fulfilled their desire. (For further details see under subrahmaṇya).

विशाख २ / VIŚĀKHA II. A hermit. Mention is made in M.B. Sabhā Parva,  Chapter 7,  Stanza 19,  that this hermit stays in the palace of indra,  glorifying him.
