Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
A monkey chief who extracts the fatal arrow from Vālin's body.
Then Nīla drew out the arrow lodged in his body — as one draws out a blazing venomous serpent that has coiled itself deep in a mountain cave.
of Kumuda, Suṣeṇa, Tāra, Jāmbavat, Dadhivaktra, Nīla, Supāṭala, and Sunetra.
He commanded the trusted Nīla, ever diligent, to gather together the armies from all directions.
