मैन्द lived in a cave in किष्किन्धा . While he was living there सहदेव one of the पाण्डवस् came that way during his victory campaign in दक्षिण भारत and fought with him. सहदेव was defeated. But मैन्द was pleased with him and gave him many valuable presents and advised him that no difficulties should be put against धर्मपुत्र achieving his object.

In the राम-रावण battle मैन्द and others also fainted along with लक्ष्मण and others. It was only when they washed their faces with the water given by कुबेर that they could see things clearly.
