Huhu

In Hindu mythology, Huhu is a particular gandharva, or celestial musician.
He has the misfortune to displease a
Hindu sage, when his amorous water
play with some celestial damsels
breaks the sage’s meditation. The sage
curses Huhu to become a giant crocodile, and he remains in this state for
many years. The crocodile preys on the
creatures in the lake, and one day
seizes the leg of a giant elephant. This
elephant is really King Indradyumna,
who has also assumed this form as the
result of a curse. The elephant and the
crocodile struggle for one thousand
years, so evenly matched that neither
can best the other. Huhu is finally
released from his curse when the god
Vishnu himself comes down from
heaven and kills him. See also
