Kimmṛitya—The Kaimur range, between the rivers Sone and Tons. This range is part of the Vindhya hills (Hooker's Himalayan Journals, vol. I, p. 28). It commences near Kaṭāṅgi in the Jubbulpore district and runs through the state of Rewa and the district of Shahabad in Bihar. Same as Kaira-māl. Perhaps the names of Kimmṛitya and Kaimur are derived from Kumāra-rājya, a kingdom which was close to Chedi (Mbh., Sabhā, ch. 30).
