Kindama cursed [[Pandu]] and thus changed the development of the events in the epic [[Mahābhārata]]. '''Kindama''', while making love with his female companion being transformed into form of the 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 they transformed themselves back to human form. The male part, Kindama, said that only a man devoid of intelligence could kill animals copulating in nature. Kindama, 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.

King Pandu shoots Kindama

In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Kindama (Sanskrit: किन्दम) was a rishi who lived in the woods. Kindama was a very bashful person and his overriding feelings of modesty prevented him from having sex in the company of other humans. To satisfy his sexual desires, Kindama used his powers to turn himself and his wife into a deer. Once he and his mate were having intercourse in the woods. King Pandu of Hastinapur, who had been hunting there, shot them mistaking them for deer, seriously injuring them. Enraged Kindama (still in deer form) berated the king for having killed him before he had finished the act of copulation. Before dying, Kindama cursed Pandu that he would die the moment he engaged in intercourse with any woman.[1][2]
