Matang was a sage living in a hermitage on Rishyamukh hill.
As the story told in Ramayan, there was a demon Mayavi who had a younger brother Dundubhi by name.
On one occasion, Dundubhi attacked Vali in the form of a buggalo and was slain by him. Vali hurled the gigantic corpse of the buffalo to a distance of eight miles from his capital. A few drops of blood, however, fell from its mouth in the hermitage of sage Matang on Rishyamukh hill. This enraged the Rishi, who pronounced a curse that whoever had desecrated his hermitage by spilling blood there would have his head shattered to pieces if he dared approach the precincts of his hermitage.
