"a blind man who consumed lentils from Kolayat that brought back to the memories of his past life. He was a deer who lived in the region whose head got stuck in the tree while it was itching. Unable to free himself, the deer died in time. The body was feasted on by animals and the in time the skeleton washed into the Kapila Sarovar. The head remained stuck in the tree, as a result he was born blind in this birth. It was thus his mission to find this head and cast it in the lake. Having done that he is said to have regained his eye sight." ("Sages from the Hindu Scriptures : Kapila". http://vipasana-vidushika.blogspot.com/2015/05/)

A man "born blind" (Eu-angelion of Ioannes 9:2) was healed (ibid. 9:6).

Cf. the covered-with-iridescent-scales "rainbow anaconda" of South American tropical forests; rainbow is often associated with healing elsewhere.


12th Svati : cf. Svati (Agni Puran.a 18 -- PE, q.v.), whose grandmother is Nad.vala 'riverbed', and whose grandfather is Caks.us.a (\caks.us.\ 'eyesight').
