BASAKA (VASUKI) Millions of Vasukis (Basaks) form Thy bed, O Lord! (Bhairo Kabir. p. 1163) In whose house, Basak (Vasuki) of one thousand hoods spreads itself like a bed.... (Malar Namdev, p. 1292) Like father and grandfather, the grandson has the Lord\'s approval making the foundation of spiritual power, he made the rope of Vasuki and churned the ocean with the churning stick of Meru. He churned out fourteen gems and enlightened the world. (Var Ramkali Satta Balwand, p. 968) Vasuki (Basak Nag) was the king of the Nagas (serpents) of the nether-regions (Patala). He was used as a rope, around the mountain Mandara, when the gods and demons churned the milk-ocean.
