With the eye of the dark horse, look upon the demons, the Kimīdins.
in the texts
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
A class of malevolent night-demons repeatedly paired with the yātudhāna as targets of Agni's and Indra's destruction.
Those two ageless horns of thine, O Jātavedas, sharp-gleaming, whetted by sacred utterance — with those two pierce through the kimīdin who is hard-hearted, who would destroy, the yātudhāna who faces thee, O Jātavedas.
Lay irresistible hatred upon the brahman-hater, the flesh-eater, the fierce-eyed kimīdin.
Burn down, O Agni, the yātudhāna and the kimīdin as a pair.
Rigveda
A class of demons paired with the Yātudhānas as targets of Agni's fire.
O Agni, burn back the paired Yātudhānas, the Kimīdins.
