the lives of SFX, Jesus, Ram, Krishna or Muhammad are

it is commonplace to mythologize, deify and place

udak or udok is from Skt. and Indo-European (IE). IE

waters'. Skt. udra = otter. Skt. udaka has a different
meaning, it is connected to offering of water to dead
ancestors.

not knowing the context is my error. thanks for the
nice explanations.
these are idioms. the meaning of the whole phrase is

perhaps, a literal translation is meaningless.
