SŪRYAKETU : A daitya (demon). Once this daitya conquered the world of the gods and expelled Indra. At that time Purañjaya was the King of Ayodhyā, who was born in the Solar dynasty. Indra requested for his help. Purañjaya agreed to help Indra, on condition that Indra should stand as an ox and that he would sit on the hump of that ox and fight. Accordingly he sat on the ‘Kakud’ (hump) of the ox and fought in the battle, killed Sūryaketu, and reinstated Indra in his former position. Because he sat on the ‘Kakud’, Purañjaya got the name Kakutstha. The dynasty of the King came to be called by the name Kākutstha. (Kamba Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddhakāṇḍa).
