վ貹ṇa (तिलपर्�) is the name of a ṇa (attendant of Śiva), mentioned in the Skandapurāṇa 4.2.53. In this chapter, Śiva (Giriśa) summons his attendants (ṇas) and ask them to venture towards the city Vārāṇasī (Kāśī) in order to find out what the Dzī, the sun-god, Vidhi (Brahmā) were doing there.

While the ṇas such as վ貹ṇa were staying at Kāśī, they were desirous but unable of finding a weakness in king Divodaśa who was ruling there. Kāśī is described as a fascinating place beyond the range of Giriśa’s vision, and as a place where Dzī become aDzī, after having come in contact with it. Kāśī is described as having both the power to destroy great delusion, as well as creating it.
