Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaKujṛmbha (कुजृम्भ).—A very powerful and valiant Rākṣasa who possessed an iron rod named Sunanda. He had earned the boon that the rod would lose its power only on contact with women. He lived underground in a thick forest on the banks of the river Nirvindhyā. Once he abducted Mudāvatī, the beautiful daughter of Viḍūratha, King of Vaiśālī. At last Vatsapri, the son of Bhalandana made Mudāvatī touch the iron rod of the Asura, which became powerless because of the touch of a woman, and then he (Vatsapri) killed the Asura. Vatsapri then married Mudāvatī. (Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, Chapter 116).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
