Etymology[edit]
From Pali sahassanayana (literally “thousand eyes”), from sahassa (“thousand”) + nayana (“eye”); equivalent to Thai สหัส + นัยน์ (nai); from the legend that the god Indra was cursed by the sage Gautama to have a thousand vulvae on his body after committing adultery with the sage's wife, Ahalyā, but the vulvae were later turned into eyes.
