In the epic [[Mahābhārata]], '''Kindama''' was a [[rishi]] who lived in the woods, and could transform himself into an animal form. His curse on [[Pandu]] was a major factor in the epic's plot.

Kindama cursed [[Pandu]] and thus changed the development of the events in the epic [[Mahābhārata]]. Kindama, while making love with a female deer, became a Pandu's shooting target when [[Pandu]] was roaming about in the woods. As a consequence of this, the mating deer couple was seriously hurt and Kindama transformed himself back to human form. Kindama, said that only a man devoid of intelligence could kill animals copulating in nature and before he died, cursed [[Pandu]] stating that if he ever wished to enjoy pleasures of sexual association with a woman, it would be a pathway to his death right away.

After the Kindama's curse, [[Pandu]] renounced everything and became a hermit. [[Dhritarashtra]] the blind brother of Pandu, became king of [[Hastinapura]] became . Once, after a longer time, [[Pandu]] was so enthralled by his second wife's womanly manners that he could not contain his desires. As soon as he touched [[Madri]], he died.
