A merchant-prince of Champaka Nagar. Manasā Devi woos the devotion of him. Chand Sadagar, (the surname is also spelt Saudagar), was a rich and powerful merchant of Champak Nagar, Chaygaon in ancient Kamrup. Bipradas Pipilai gave an account in his Manasamangal about the merchant ship of the trader Chand Saudagar proceeding to the sea, passing through Saptagram and Tribeni, the tri junction of the Ganges, Saraswati and Yamuna. His life is a story of how he was forced to be converted to become a worshipper of Manasa, the goddess of snakes.
