पृथुग्रीव / PṚTHUGRĪVA. When rāma and lakṣmaṇa were staying in pañcavaṭī a demoness named śūrpaṇakhā made approaches to them and lakṣmaṇa cut off her limbs and sent her away. Then a rākṣasa army came under the leadership of khara, dūṣaṇa and triśiras and pṛthugrīva was one of the twelve prominent soldiers of that army.
(sarga 26, araṇya Kāṇḍa vālmīki rāmāyaṇa).
