Kalayavana in the Indian mythology is said to be the son of Gargya. His complexion was very dark; he was as black as a bee and thus named Kalayavana.

Krishna lured Kalayavana into the cave of the mighty Muchukunda, who being disturbed from sleep by a kick from Kalayavana, cast a fiery glance upon him and reduced him to ashes.
