KÂLANEMI
Hindu Demon
Demon uncle launched into orbit
He was another Demon Uncle of Ravana. He tried to destroy Hanuman by disguising himself as a hermit and getting invited in for dinner.
But Hanuman was warned by a crocodile (who was really a nymph).
The tale ends with a flick of Hanuman’s tail which hurled the demon so high he bounced off the underside of Heaven and splattered when he hit Earth.
