Well protected by armor and desiring to fight, Puraṣjaya took up a transcendental bow and very sharp arrows, and, while being highly praised by the demigods, he got up on the back of the bull [Indra] and sat on its hump. Thus he is known as Kakutstha. Being empowered by Lord Viṣṇu, who is the Supersoul and the Supreme Person, Puraṣjaya sat on the great bull and is therefore known as Indravāha. Surrounded by the demigods, he attacked the residence of the demons in the west.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Well protected by armor and desiring to fight, Puraṣjaya took up a celestial bow and sharp arrows, and, while being highly praised by the devatās, he got up on the back of the bull [Indra] and sat on its hump. Empowered by Lord Viṣṇu, who is the Supersoul and the Supreme Person, Puraṣjaya, surrounded the city of the demons in the west along with the devatās. Puraṣjaya, mounting the bull who was Indra is thus called Indravāha (he whose carrier is Indra). Because he sat on the hump of the bull he is called Kakutsha (situated on the hump). He surrounded the city with the devatās.
