Englishकिम्—पुरुष॑ -पुरुष॑ [ŚBr. i] or -पु॑रुष [ŚBr. vii], ‘what sort of a man?’ a mongrel being (according to the Brāhmaṇas an evil being similar to man
perhaps originally a kind of monkey [cf. xi, 16, 29]
in later times the word is usually identified with किं-नर, though sometimes applied to other beings in which the figure of a man and that of an animal are combined
these beings are supposed to live on Hema-kūṭa and are regarded as the attendants of Kubera
with Jains the Kimpuruṣas, like the Kiṃnaras, belong to the Vyantaras)

English[kiṃpuruṣa, Mv 〔i.23.2〕, or °ṣaka, 〔i.20.6〕
Senart reads °ṣakānāṃ (all mss. dental n!) in 〔20.6〕, °ṣāṇāṃ (but mss. again end in -kānāṃ!) in 〔23.2〕, assuming mg. monkey
but only by violent em. of mss., which, combining the two passages, point rather to something like tampuruka or tamb°
in any case, monkey is implausible in mg., since reference seems to be made to animals living in holes

पुराणम्
Englishकिम्पुरुष / KIMPURUṢA .1) General. A King called agnīdhra was born in the dynasty of priyavrata, son of manu. He became lord of the jambū island, and married an apsarā woman named pūrvacitti. To them were born nine sons called Nābhi, kimpuruṣa, hari, ilāvṛta, ramyaka, hiraṇmaya, Kalva, bhadrāśva and ketumāla. agnīdhra partitioned the kingdom among the nine sons. The land kimpuruṣa ruled over was known as kimpuruṣa or Kimpuruṣavarṣa. It lay to the south of hemakūṭa mountain. It was here that hanūmān spent his last days worshipping śrī rāma.
“The son of the wind God (hanūmān) lives in the country called Kimpuruṣavarṣa in the worship of Śrī rāma.” (bhāgavata, 5th skandha).
According to the Sabhā Parva (Chapter 23, Verses 1, 2) Kimpuruṣavarṣa guarded by the sons of druma is situated to the north of the Himālayas facing the Dhavala mountain, and this country was once conquered by arjuna. 2) Other information. (i) Kimpuruṣas were the sons of pulaha prajāpati. (Ādi Parva, Chapter 66, Verse 8).(ii) They witnessed agastya drinking up the ocean dry. (Vana Parva, Chapter 104, Verse 21).(iii) They guard the lotus ponds kept by kubera to sport with his beloved ones. (Vana Parva, Chapter 15, Verse 9).(iv) In his conflict with rāvaṇa, kubera left behind him laṅkā and his puṣpaka Vimāna, escaped towards the north and settled down on mount gandhamādana with the help of the Kimpuruṣas. (Vana Parva, Chapter 275, Verse 33).(v) yakṣa women were their mothers. (śānti Parva, Chapter 207, Verse 25).(vi) They were present at the aśvamedha of yudhiṣṭhira. (aśvamedha Parva, Chapter 88, Verse 37).(vii) śuka Brahmarṣi reached bhārata, crossing Kimpuruṣavarṣa. (śānti Parva, Chapter 325).
Vedic Reference
EnglishKiṃ-puruṣa, lit. ‘what sort of man, ’ appears in the Brāh-
maṇas^1 to designate the ‘ape, ’ which is a mimic man. Possibly
the same sense should be seen in the passage of the Vāja-
saneyi Saṃhitā, ^2 where it occurs, and where Roth^3 assumes it
to refer to a contemptible man. Max Müller^4 renders it
‘savage.’
