Vedic Reference
English
Cumuri is the name of an enemy of Dabhīti, for whom he,
along with his friend Dhuni, is mentioned in the Rigveda^1 as
having been defeated by Indra. Elsewhere^2 the two are spoken
of, along with Śambara, Pipru, and Śuṣṇa, as having been
crushed by Indra, who destroyed their castles. It is impossible
to say whether real men or demons are meant, but in favour of
a man being denoted by Cumuri is the form of the name, which
seems not to be Āryan.^3
