KIRMĪRA. A monster Rākshasa, brother of Vaka. He opposed the entrance of the Pandavas into the Kāmyaka forest, and threatened that he would eat Bhīma. A furious combat ensued, in which Bhīma and he hurled large trees at each other, but the demon was at length strangled and had all his bones broken by Bhīma.
