Binduga (बिन्दु�).—A Brāhmaṇa who lived in the village of Bāṣkala. Being a frequenter of the houses of harlots and of various other mean habits, he had led his wife Cañcalā also to lead an immoral life. Once Binduga called his wife and told her thus: "You may continue the life of a harlot; but all the money acquired must be handed over to me." Thus they continued their lives and after their death both were reborn as devils in the mountain of Vindhya. In the midst of their life as devils, once it chanced for Cañcalā to hear the Śiva Purāṇa recited and she got her shape of devil changed. She requested Pārvatī to change the shape of her husband also. Pārvatī sent her attendant Tumburu to Binduga to tell him the story of Śiva and thus he also got his form changed. (Śiva Purāṇa Māhātmya).

He was a wicked sinner traversing evil paths. Although he had a beautiful wife he was enamoured of a prostitute. His passion for her completely upset his mind.
