Description in the Javanese wayang retellings: The giant snake defeated by Werkudara in Dewa Ruci.

Notes on the Indian retellings: There is a story of a snake that entraps Bhima, but the context and ending of the story are very different. The snake is actually Nahusha, Bhima's ancestor who was turned into a snake by the sage Agasthya. In the end, Bhima helps him redeem himself and return to his previous form.
