Kimpurushas

The kimpurushas (Sanskrit: किंपुरुष, romanized: Kimpuruṣa) are a race of beings featured in Hindu literature, described as possessing the bodies of human beings and lion heads. They are associated with, and sometimes considered the same as the kinnaras, though some Puranas distinguish between them. They are attendants of the god of wealth, Kubera.
