Kalmāsha, a serpent. § 47 (Sarpanāmak.): I, 35, 1552 (°Ḉabalu, enumeration). Kalmāshapāda, Saudāsa (also named Mitrasaha), king of Ayodhyā and husband of Madayantī. § 188 (Madayantī): I, 122, 4737 (being himself unable to beget children K. urged Madayantī to go to Vasiṣṭha, who begat Aḉmaka on her, cf. § 225).—§ 224 (Vasiṣṭha): The rājarshi of the race of Ikshvāku Kalmāshapāda (whose sacrifices Viçvāmitra had desired to perform) once when hunting met the viprarshi Ḉaktri, the eldest of Vasiṣṭha's 100 sons, and ordered him to stand out of his way, and as Ḉaktri did not yield K. struck him with his whip. Ḉaktri then cursed him, saying: "From this day thou shalt be a rākshasa, eating human flesh." The king began humbly to propitiate the rshi, but Viçvāmitra (between whom and Vasiṣṭha there was a dispute about K., whom they both wanted as their yājya) passed before them without being seen, and caused a rākshasa named Kiṅkara to enter the king. Viçvāmitra then went away. At this time a hungry brahman beheld in the wood K., who was terribly afflicted by the rākshasa, and asked the king for some food with meat. K. asked him to stay there for a moment, and having roved for some time at pleasure at last entered his inner apartments. When waking at midnight and remembering his promise, he summoned his cook, and as the cook did not find any meat K.

said: "Feed him with human flesh." The cook then took human flesh from the place where the executioners were, and offered it to the hungry brahman. Seeing with his spiritual power of vision (siddha-cakshushā) what kind of food it was, the brahman in anger said that the king himself should take a fancy to such food and wander over all the earth alarming all creatures. The curse on the king, being thus repeated a second time, became very strong, and possessed by the rākshasa the king lost all his senses. A while after K., beholding Ḉaktri, in order to revenge himself for the curse slew him and ate him up. And Viçvāmitra caused that rākshasa also to devour the other sons of Vasiṣṭha: I, 176, 6696 (Ikshvākuvamçaḥ), [6720 (Mitrasahaḥ B., C. has mitrasaham as adj. to dvijam)].—§ 225 (Vasiṣṭha): I, 177, 6761, 6768 (Vasiṣṭha delivered K. from the curse of Ḉaktri, and then at the request of K. begat Aḉmaka on Madayantī, the queen of K.).—§ 228 (Aurvop.): I, 181, 6881 (attained to heaven).—§ 229 (Vasiṣṭhop.): I, 182, 6888, 6904 (rājarshi, it is related why K. caused Vasiṣṭha to beget a son on his wife).—[§ 480 (Pativratop., Brāhmaṇavyādhasamv.): III, 208, 13817 (Saudāsena, all to § 224)].—§ 607 (Karṇap.): VIII, 45, 2092 (Rākshasa, a sentence of his is quoted; read with B.
