FAQs
Budha (the deity associated with Mercury) is described as the son of King Soma; therefore he is remembered as ‘Rājaputra’—literally ‘prince’ or ‘king’s son’.
The verse characterizes him as a renowned rāja-vaidyaka—an eminent physician serving in a royal context.
It preserves a genealogical-identificatory detail: Budha’s epithet ‘Rājaputra’ is explained through his parentage from Soma, aligning with the Purāṇic style of naming through lineage.
