In the [[Hindu]] epic ''[[Mahabharata]]'', '''Kindama''' was a ''[[rishi]]'' who lived in the woods, and could transform himself into an animal form.

Once Kindama transformed himself and his wife into deer and engaged in [[Sexual intercourse|intercourse]] in the woods. King [[Pandu]] of [[Hastinapur]], who had been hunting there, shot them, seriously injuring them. Enraged Kindama returned to human form. Before dying, Kindama cursed Pandu that he would die the moment he engaged in intercourse with any woman.<ref>{{cite book|last=Uberoi|first=Meera|title=The Mahabharata|isbn=9788170702313}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Pattanaik|first=Devdutt|title=The goddess in India: the five faces of the eternal feminine|year=2000|publisher=Inner Traditions International|location=Rochester, Vt|isbn=9780892818075}}</ref>

After Kindama’s curse, [[Pandu]] renounced everything and became a [[hermit]]. [[Dhritarashtra]] the blind brother of Pandu, became the king of [[Hastinapur]]. Then, after a long time, Pandu was so enthralled by [[Madri|his second wife’s womanly manners]] that he could no longer contain his desires. As soon as he attempted intercourse with Madri, he died. Madri [[Sati (practice)|immolated]] herself in her husband’s pyre.
