Editing Andhaka (section)

==In the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata==

In the [[Ramayana|Rāmāyaṇa]], the story of [[Kali|Kālī]] killing Andhaka is briefly noted in Chapter 30 of the [[Araṇya-Kāṇḍa|Araṇya Kāṇḍa]], at the moment when [[Khara (Ramayana)|Khara]], the younger brother of [[Ravana|Rāvaṇa]] is killed by [[Rama|Rāma]]. The scripture reads that Andhaka was killed by Shiva's third eye in the forest of the sage Śveta.

In the [[Mahābhārata]], Andhaka is killed by Kālī, though not by his third eye as in the Rāmāyaṇa.<ref name="Collins1988"/>
