Dadhichi (Sanskrit: दधीचि, romanized: Dadhīci), also rendered Dadhyanga[2] and Dadhyancha,[3] is a sage in Hinduism. He is best known for his sacrifice in the Puranas, where he gives up his life so that his bones could be used to manufacture the Vajra, the diamond-like celestial thunderbolt of the deity Indra, in order to slay Vritra.[4]
