Brahmā was pleased and was about to grant him a boon, when the gods requested Sarasvatī to sit on his tongue and to pervert it.

It is said that he slept for six months at a time, and, when roused, was awake for only one day. When Lankā was besieged by the monkey-troops of Rāma, Ravāṇa with great difficulty roused Kumbhakarṇa, desirous of availing himself of his gigantic strength.

Is mentioned with Opaśa and Kurīra as an ornament of women’s hair in the Atharvaveda. Geldner thinks that, like those two words, it originally meant ‘horn,’ but this is very doubtful. Indian tradition simply regards the term as denoting a female adornment connected with the dressing of the hair.
Is a word of frequent occurrence in the Rigveda, as well as later, and denotes a ‘ pot.’ Usually no doubt made of clay, it was easily broken. See also Ukhā.
(‘ pot-nosed ’) is the name of an animal mentioned in the list of victims at the horse sacrifice (Aśvamedha) in the Taittirīya Samhitā. Possibly some sort of snake is meant, as in the later literature.
Is a word mentioned after Rc, Yajus, Sāman, and Gāthā in the Satapatha Brāhmana to denote a form of speech. In the Aitareya Aranyaka it appears as one of the forms of measured speech together with Rc and Gāthā. The precise meaning of the term is unknown. Weber suggests the sense ‘ refrain.’
Is the name of a plant mentioned with other water plants in one passage of the Atharvaveda. It is no doubt the white water-lily (Nymphcea esculenta), being the name of that plant in post-Vedic Sanskrit also.
