Kirvant or Kilvant.—A subdivision of Maharāshtra Brāhmans in Khairagarh. The name is said to be derived from kīra, an insect, because they kill insects in working their betel-vine gardens. Another explanation is that the name is really Kriyavant, and that they are so called because they conducted kriya or funeral services, an occupation which degraded them. A third form of the name is Kramwant or reciters of the Veda.
