Sura Parpma
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in Hindu mythology, is the giant with whom Supramanya (q.v.) fought. After he had been cut into pieces by the latter, one half changed itself into a peacock, and the other half into a cock. Siva used the first as an animal for riding, and the second served as a watcher for the house in which the wagon of Siva stood.
