{ svanḥ, svana }

Puranic Encyclopaedia

SVANA   Son of the Agni (fire) called Satya. It is said that this Agni is the agent which causes disease to living things. This agni got the name Svana because human beings produce Svana (pitiable cry) when they are afflicted by diseases. [M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 219, Verse 15] .
