In Hinduism (specifically, early Vedic accounts), Sachi (also known as "Indrani" (queen of Indra), Aindri, Mahendri and Paulomi) is the goddess of wrath and jealousy, and a daughter of Puloman, a demon who was killed by Indrani's future husband, Indra. She is beautiful and has one-thousand eyes. She is associated with lions and elephants. With Indra, she is the mother of Jayanta, Midhusa, Nilambara, Rbhus, Rsabha and Sitragupta.
