In the Hindu mythology it is mentioned that Sudyumna is the son of the Manu Vaivaswata. At his birth he was a female, named Ila, but was afterwards changed into a male and was known as Sudyumna. Under the curse of Lord Shiva he again became Ila, who married Budha or Mercury, and was mother of Pururavas. By favour of Lord Vishnu the male form was again recovered, and Sudyumna became the father of three sons. This legend evidently has reference to the origin of the Lunar Race of kings.
