In Hindu mythology, Sukanya (Sanskrit: सुकन्‍या) was the daughter of Sharyati, son of Vaivasvata Manu and the wife of the great sage Chyavana.The sage had spent so long in meditation that he was covered by a crows nest. The beautiful girl Sukanya came upon the nest and saw two shining objects inside. Not realizing these were the eyes of the sage, she poked playfully at them, and the sage was blinded. Chyavana was enraged, and Sukanya's father placated him by offering her in marriage.
