The demon was such a fierce-looking giant that Pāñcālī was forced to shut her eyes by fright and she became wearied like a river in the midst of five hillocks. Bhīmasena immediately ran to her rescue and killed Kirmīra. (Chapter 11, Vana Parva). - [Previous: c8.1717](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1717) - [Next: c8.1719](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1719) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1718](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1718) · Pramāṇa
