Uccaiśravas
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Uccaiśravas literally means ‘the horse whose ears are erect and high’.
This is a divine horse that emerged out of the Kṣīrasamudra[1] at the time of its churning by the gods and the demons. Indra chose to accept it as his royal horse.[2] It was pure white in color. The father of Satyavatī[3] was also known as Uccaiśravas.
