Hello William

>From what I could find on the internet, a Kimnara is a celestial musician, 
>half-human and half-bird. A Mahoraga is a class of subterranean serpent who, 
>it is said, lie on their sides and rotate in the earth. They belong to the 
>class of local deities or 'earth lords'. Hope that this helps! :)
