Timingila


The Timingilam is a huge mythological aquatic creature that can swallow whole whales in one bite, as written about in the Mahabharata.
The Timingilam is also mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam, Ramayana, Susruta Samhita, and Caitanya-caritamrta.
However, in Tamil language, Timingilam refers to whales.
