Pushpak meaning
Pushpak (पुष्पक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
The self-moving aerial chariot of Kubera, later used by Rāvaṇa and Rāma
Also used to mean: flower, the pushpak vimana
Pushpak (पुष्पक) is the Sanskrit puṣpaka, built on puṣpa, "flower". Its famous sense is the Puṣpaka Vimāna, the self-moving aerial chariot of Kubera, god of wealth. Monier-Williams notes that Rāvaṇa seized it, and that after defeating him Rāma flew home in it to Ayodhyā with Sītā, a scene told in the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata. The word can also mean a jewelled bracelet. Name lists give "flower" or point to the flying chariot. The Pushpak Express, a train between Lucknow and Mumbai, also carries the name.
