General information.

The demon who attacked 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 while they were wandering in 顿补峁囜笉补办腻谤补峁噛补 after the abduction of 厂墨迟腻 by 搁腻惫补峁嘺.

Previous history of Kabandha.

There was a King of Gandharvas called 艢r墨. He had a son named Danu. Danu was known as 痴颈艣惫腻惫补蝉耻 also. 痴颈艣惫腻惫补蝉耻 once performed a penance to propitiate 叠谤补丑尘腻 for long life and 叠谤补丑尘腻 appeared before him and blessed him with immortality. Arrogant of this acquisition he roamed about as he pleased.

One day he attacked Indra and the latter furious at his impudence used the 痴补箩谤腻测耻诲丑补 on him and the head and thighs of 痴颈艣惫腻惫补蝉耻 were squeezed into his body. 痴颈艣惫腻惫补蝉耻 pleaded that he should be given some way to take his food. Indra then granted him two very long hands and a mouth on his belly. Then 痴颈艣惫腻惫补蝉耻 spent his days in a forest near the 惭补迟补峁単腻艣谤补尘补 in Krau帽c膩ra峁噛a bearing the name Kabandha (Headless trunk). Indra added that he would attain his real form when 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 cut his hands.*

A favourite pastime of Kabandha was to frighten the sages. One day he attacked a sage called 厂迟丑奴濒补艣颈谤补蝉 and that sage cursed him saying that he would retain his ugly figure for ever. The demon pleaded for relief and the sage said that he would regain his original figure when 搁腻尘补 cut his hands and left him in the desolate forest. From that day onwards Kabandha lived there waiting for 艢r墨 搁腻尘补. (Sarga 70, 础谤补峁噛补 碍腻峁囜笉补, 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).

Kabandha meets 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺.

闯补峁�穆页� was lying half dead by a blow from the sword of 搁腻惫补峁嘺 and 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 went to him and talked to him. He gave them some information regarding 厂墨迟腻 before he died. After burning the body of 闯补峁�穆页� in a funeral pyre 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 went westwards. They entered the Krau帽c膩ra峁噛a and reached 惭补迟补峁単补惫补苍补. There they saw a great cave. A huge demoness attacked them near that cave and seeing the beautiful form of 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 she invited him for amorous plays. 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 cut off her ear, nose and breasts. Then they entered deep into the forests. Bad omens greeted them. Before long they saw Kabandha rushing towards them. He is described thus in the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补:

"He was as big as a mountain, dark as a black cloud, with pointed hairs all over his body and looked fierce with a voice as loud as thunder. He had an eye on his stomach, round and yellow, emitting a glare like a fire-flame. Looking wicked he thrust his big tongue out of his huge mouth licking the sides."

The demon stretched out his big hands and caught hold of 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 in his right hand and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 in his left hand. Finding themselves helpless in his hands 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 implored 搁腻尘补 to flee away from the demon leaving him alone. 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 cut off Kabandha鈥檚 right hand and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 cut off the left hand. Kabandha then asked them who they were. Kabandha told 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 his previous story and then fell dead. 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 burnt the dead body in a funeral pyre. He rose up in the air as the Gandharva King of old and advised 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 to go to 厂耻驳谤墨惫补 for knowing more about 厂墨迟腻. (Sargas 70 to 72, 础谤补峁噛补 碍腻峁囜笉补, 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).

*) "I am the son of 艢r墨 named Danu" says Kabandha to 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 in 艢濒辞办补 8, Chapter 71, of the 础谤补峁噛补 碍腻峁囜笉补 of 痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺. In 艢濒辞办补 42, Chapter 279 of 础谤补峁噛补 K膩峁嘾a, Kabandha says, "I am a gandharva, 痴颈艣惫腻惫补蝉耻 and came to be born in a demonaic womb by the curse of a brahmin."
