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
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.
