KIN-NARAS. ‘What men?’ Mythical beings with the form of a man and the head of a horse. They are celestial choristers and musicians, dwelling in the paradise of Kuvera on Kailāsa. They sprang from the toe of Brahmā with the Yakshas, but according to others, they are sons of Kasyapa. They are also called Aswa-mukhas Turanga-vaktras, ‘horse-faced,’ and Mayus.
