पुराणम्
English
माण्डव्य / MĀṆḌAVYA. A sage. He is known as Aṇīmāṇḍavya also. Once rāvaṇa beat Māṇdavya because of his not respecting rāvaṇa. That day māṇḍavya cursed him saying “You will also be beaten like this by a brave monkey”. (yuddha Kāṇḍa, Kamba rāmāyaṇa). (More details can be had from the entry Aṇīmāṇḍavya). The āśrama of māṇḍavya is considered a holy place. Once the King of kāśī went to this āśrama and performed severe penance there. (Chapter 186, Udyoga Parva).
