 English: Horned god Nejamesa (or, Naigamesa) of the Indian sub-religion Kaumaram. 1st-3rd century CE: "Naigamesa was a popular deity in the Kushana period and we have at least eight figures of this god from Mathura assignable to c. 1st to 3rd century A.D. (GMM., E. 1, 15.909, 15, 1001, 15. 1046, 15. 1115, 34.2402, 34. 2547, SML., J 626, etc)" in (in English) (1986) Mātr̥kās, Mothers in Kuṣāṇa Art, Kanak Publications, p. 41 The deity Naigamesa is apparently the same as Nejamesa mentioned in the Khilas of the Rig-Veda as a son-granting deity.
