Sagara
Hindu · mortal · vedic · Recorded classification
The sixty thousand sons are NOT ingested — as a number they are a number and not a list, on exactly the rule that kept lane 16 from manufacturing ninety-six Kauravas. The record states the number the source states and leaves them as what they are: the largest collective death in the tradition and no individuals at all.
