Maricha

Maricha or Mareecha (Sanskrit: मारीच Mārīcha, Indonesian: Marica, Malay: Martanja, Tamil: Marichan, Thai: มารีจ Mareet) was a rakshasa who is described in several episodes of the Indian Ramayana epic. He was thrown into a remote island by the arrow of Lord Rama when he tried to interrupt Sage Vishwamitra's yagna. After that he became very afraid of the very mention of the name Rama. (Rama is described as Maareechaadini paataka Ram in the Nama Ramayana, a Sanskrit verse eulogising Rama )
