[^ *]: Kirmīra, a demon, was the brother of Baka. (Śloka 23, Chapter 11, Aranya Parva, M.B.). [^ †]: It is in the 10th Skandha of Bhāgavata that the story of this Baka occurs. But in the vernacular translation of the same the story is not so clear. Hence the original in Sanskrit is quoted below : Sa vai Bako nāma mahānasuro bakarūpadhṛk Āgatya sahasā Kṛṣṇam tīkṣṇatuṇḍo 'grasadbali Kṛṣṇam mahābakagrastam dṛṣṭvā Rāmādayo 'rbhakāḥ Babhūvurindriyāṇīva vinā prāṇam vicetasaḥ.
