Kichaka

In Mahabharata, Kichaka or Keechaka was the army commander of Matsya, the country ruled by King Virata. He is also the brother of Sudeshna, the queen. Malini is the name of Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas when she was disguised as 'sairandhri' (female servant) in King Virata's palace for one year. Keechaka once saw Malini and madly desired to enjoy her beauty, but she refused. Keechaka mentioned his lust for Malini to Queen Sudeshna, and requested to send her to serve wine for him. While Malini was serving the wine, Keechaka embraced Malini and tried to kiss her. Malini cried and pushed him down. Draupadi, alias Malini, was pursued by Keechaka to the throne room, where she was once again humiliated before a full assembly of courtiers, including her disguised husband Yudhishtira and King Virata himself, neither of whom could bring himself to react because Keechaka wielded so much power within the kingdom. Seething from the public insult, Draupadi consulted her husband Bhima, who was disguised as the palace cook. Together, they hatched a plan wherein Draupadi, disguised as Malini, would seduce Keechaka and arrange a rendezvous in the dance hall after dark. When Keechaka arrived in the dance hall, he saw, much to his pleasure, whom he thought to be a sleeping Malini. As Keechaka advanced forward, however, the person who he thought to be Malini revealed himself as Bhima and proceeded to brutally kill Keechaka with his bare hands, leaving the corpse almost unrecognizable. Through the course of the brawl, Arjuna, in his role as Brihannala, loudly practiced on his drum to mask the sound of Bhima and Keechaka.
