Rama tells the story of Ila. Kardama was hunting in the same forest where Siva was entertaining Parvati by transferring all things male into female. Kaidama was also transformed and when he approached Siva he said he would grant him anything but the transformation back into a male. Parvati granted him a boon of being male for a month and then female for another month. As a female Kardama was called Ila.Udaipur; 1653.From: Ramayana.Add. 15297 (2); f. 100London; British Library.
