Namuchi is a powerful Danava or demon and one of the sons of Viprachitti. This Asura, the Namuchi was a friend of Lord Indra.
Namuchi taking advantage of his friend's, Lord Indra's confidence, he drank up Indra's strength along with a draught of wine and soma.
Indra, the head of the gods then told the Asvins and Sarasvati that Namuchi had drunk up his strength. The Asvins and Sarasvati, in effect gave Indra a thunderbolt in the form of foam, with which he smote off the head of Namuchi. The Asvins then drank the soma mixed with blood and wine, from the belly of Namuchi and transferred it pure to Indra. And Finally Indra got back his power.
