Malinipuri, also called Malini, is a city mentioned in the Sanskrit epic, the Bhagavad Gita.
[1] The city was given to Karna, a warrior and tragic hero of the epic, by Jarasandha, king of Magadha.
Karna had sought out weapons instructions but was denied due to his mixed-caste background.
He had helped Duryodhana abduct the princess of Kalinga and fought off all the other kings while doing so, including Jarasandha.
Karna "ruptured the seam" that held together Jarasandha's body, defeating him, and was given the city of Malini.
