The Scourge of Asura

 


The Scourge of Asura

 

Crow Betty said to Agudemba: I told you some stories about the Snow Mountain Goddess. Naruhanti, Kali, Mother Goddess Uma, Gauri, Annabra, Mariaman, etc., they are all the Snow Mountain Goddess. Incarnation. As early as the Indus Valley Civilization period, Indians worshiped the goddess of agricultural fertility or the Earth Mother, but their divinity was not high. After the Gupta Dynasty in India, the status of the goddess became increasingly prominent. These goddesses have also shouldered many important tasks of rescuing people competently, even more than the Indian male gods. When it comes to the goddess's fierce combat power and high magical power, she can also be compared with all the male gods. For example, the fierce battle in which Nanjomu kills the bull demon Mahisha, the leader of the Asuras, is the most classic. The mother-in-law was created by the flames ejected from the mouths of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and other gods. She was born to kill asuras and demons.

Crow Betty smiled and said: Mr. Agudumba, do you know the story of Asura? This has to start with the great god Brahma.

At that time, the great god Brahma made an unintentional stupidity, that is, he agreed to King Asura's wish and made him invincible, that is to say, invincible in all battles.

At that time, there were four Asura kings, namely, the Asura kings of Vachi, the Asura kings, the Asura kings, the Asura kings, the Asura kings, and the Rahu Asura kings. Pozhi, meaning brave and vigorous, was the former commander-in-chief of Asura's army when he fought against Emperor Shakten, and the others were the Asura kings who succeeded him later.

The Asura King who sought invincibility from Lord Brahma was the Asura King named Pochi.

Brahma originally sneered at the request of the Asura King, thinking how could it be so simple to give you invincibility. But it turned out that the Asura King was also very smart, and he immediately changed the request and said: Otherwise, let me just As long as I can be knocked down by the newborn daughter, no one can hurt me except the newborn daughter, how about that?

Unexpectedly, Brahma thought this was unreasonable, so he immediately agreed.

Asuras can be said to be a special tribe, mentioned in Indian mythology and Buddhism. Most of their images are derived from the Asuras in Hinduism, but some of their characteristics are only mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. The Asura tribe is very special. Buddhist scriptures say: Asura men are ugly in appearance; Asura women are upright and beautiful. Asura men are not good-looking, but Asura women are beautiful and fragrant. Therefore, King Asura often fought with the Deva gods headed by Shakti. Because Asura had beauties but no good food, and Shakti had good food but no beautiful women, the two gods were jealous of each other, and there were reports of wars. The battlefield at that time was what the common people later called "Shura Field".

Asura is a warlike race with supernatural powers, and the fighting power of King Asura is even more amazing.

But when that Asura king became invincible, he committed evil and chaos everywhere, causing chaos in the three realms. But Brahma was too embarrassed to let fellow practitioners clean up this mess for him.

But he didn't expect that the first thing King Asura, who had achieved invincibility and invincibility, would do was to use this invincible power to attack all the divine tribes and the great gods.

Betty the crow said to Agudemba:

This incident happened at the time when Shiva was at his lowest ebb and preparing for his comeback. At that time, Brahma decided to follow his usual approach, which was to go to sleep and pretend that those things had not happened.

As soon as Brahma lay down, King Vaji Asura assembled a more powerful army of Asuras. Rakshasa and other evil tribes allied together, and the army was powerful. And more gods, such as King Yaksha, also chose to wait and see, rather than think about it. Fall into this muddy water.

This is a very realistic battle to destroy gods. Maybe after this battle, it will no longer be gods that dominate the entire India, but demons.

From the perspective of the three main gods Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu, King Vaji Asura did not challenge the status of the three main gods. Therefore, they are unwilling to take action to challenge King Asura, because this is not related to the survival of the universe, but is just a major change of blood among the gods.

The three main gods Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu were unwilling to interfere with the evil deeds of King Asura, but they angered the goddess Parvati.

Parvati is the wife of Shiva and recently became the goddess Devi.

Parvati said to the three major gods: Since the three major gods cannot take action personally, they can always use the power of others to strengthen their power. I can go out on my behalf to defeat the evil king Asura.

When the three major gods saw Parvati coming forward, they wanted to go out on their behalf to attack King Asura. Everyone was very surprised. Finally, he agreed to Parvati's request and expressed his full support and help in her challenge to King Asura.

But after all, Parvati is just a simple goddess, how can she face the vicious Shura army?

Crow Betty said: Mr. Agudumba, would you like to listen to the "Expedition Song" that Parvati sang at that time?

Before Agudemba could answer, crow Betty flapped her wings and sang the "Expedition Song":

 

The devil is making trouble and invading my three realms

Heaven and hell, the sky is dark and the earth is dark

Parvati, no longer gentle

Wearing plain makeup and military uniform, crusade against sin

 

The sword points to the sky, don't give in

Cut off arrogance, the blade can be blocked

Parvati, unstoppable

Call the wind and rain, invincible

 

The winner is king, the brave is glorious

Suppress the demon world and be famous for eternity

Parvati, leading the expedition

The three realms are healthy and share the glory

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
