Tadaka

Tadaka is linked in the surviving account to a wild wood under a curse. After Viśvámitra’s party spends the night there, the grove is described as freed from that curse and shining again. The passage does not explain the curse’s origin or specify Tadaka’s actions in its removal.

The Wood Associated with Tadaka

The wood is identified as Tadaka’s wild wood, giving her name a lasting connection to a place marked by enchantment and its release. The account focuses on the grove’s changed condition rather than on Tadaka herself.

Release from the Curse

Viśvámitra’s party spends the night in the wood, and the grove is then said to shine, newly freed from the curse that had lain upon it. Its renewed brightness is compared to Chaitraratha. The passage records the transformation but leaves its cause and Tadaka’s fate unstated.
