Other uses Vena is also a Russian name of
Vienna city, the nickname of
2S31 self-propelled 120 mm russian mortar/cannon and a
record label. In
Hindu mythology, Vena was a great king. However, he decided to become a
Jain and thus became evil and corrupt. The world became so gloomy and dark that the earth-goddess
Bhumidevi decided that she would not provide crops to humans anymore. She took form as a cow and went into hiding. Meanwhile, a group of
Rishis kill Vena out of anger. They then rub the thigh of his corpse, and take out all the evil from his body. Afterwards they rubbed Vena's arm, and the good
Prithu emerged. This being was
Vishnu incarnate, and as soon as he was born, Vishnu's Sharanga bow fell from heaven into his hands. However, Bhumidevi still refused to give crops to people. As soon as Prithu, son of Vena, threatened to kill her, she gave in, but in return Prithu would be her eternal guardian. This is why Bhumidevi is also known as Prithvi.
