Bull Demon King Mahisha

 

Bull Demon King Mahisha

Crow Betty sang a song "Durga, the Goddess of War" for Mr. Agudumba, and she began to tell the legendary story about the goddess Durga:

According to legend, the fierce battle in which Durga killed the bull demon Mahisha, the leader of the Asuras, is the most classic.

The war between the gods and Asuras lasted for a hundred years. When they encountered the tyrannical Bull Demon King, the gods had nothing to do. They were no match for the Bull Demon King, so the gods gave their most powerful weapons to Durga and prayed to Durga. Ga defeated the Bull Demon King and won.

In the Asura camp, there is a demon king named Mahisha. He is very powerful and can constantly change himself into an image that is conducive to fighting and defeat the opposing gods. It is also said that it will turn into an unstoppable bull, so Mahisha is also called the Bull Demon in India, and it should also be the image reference of the Bull Demon King in Journey to the West.

The bull demon Mahisha was so unstoppable that he almost conquered the heavens and beat the gods topsy turvy. At this time, Indra Emperor Shakti was also in the punishment of being cursed for offending Shiva and had no strength.

Seeing that the demon army was about to win, Durga rode a lion and went into battle. She had ten hands, each holding a different weapon that symbolized the power of the gods.

The arrival of Durga's golden light shocked the entire battlefield, and the earth shook so much that the Asura demons could hardly stand up. However, seeing that Durga was a beautiful goddess, their confidence soon increased, and they attacked with overwhelming force. , but the contempt of the bull demon Mahisha brought disaster to himself.

In this decisive battle, Durga's single strength is enough to destroy the elite army of Asura's front line.

At that time, although the Shura army surrounding Durga had surrounded her so that no one could be seen, there were screams in the encirclement, broken arms and limbs filled the sky, and the blood splashed in the wounds was like red rain, almost killing her. The sky and the earth turned red.

The bull demon Mahisha watched his army be disintegrated in an instant. The demons who were not dead could only lie on the ground and howl, waiting for death with their hands and feet broken, and enjoying the fear of being taken away by death.

However, Durga did not stop and came galloping on the lion.

The bull demon Mahisha was almost scared out of his wits, so he had to transform into a bull demon and summon thousands of cows to stop Durga, but it was in vain. During the battle, Mahisha kept transforming, and finally when Mahisha wanted to When he transformed into a buffalo, Durga stabbed it to death with Shiva's trident, cut off Mahisha's head and held it in one of his hands.

Crow Betty said to Agudemba: In this mythical story, the Bull Demon King turned into a big buffalo, a lion, an elephant, and then back into a big buffalo during the fierce battle. In the end, Durga grabbed his neck without mercy. The ground was torn apart and lives were lost. Mahisha's constant shape-shifting symbolizes reincarnation, while the buffalo represents death. This story illustrates that Durga is the supreme goddess who defeats death and breaks reincarnation.

Crow Betty smiled and said: Mahisha, the bull demon who originally beat the gods of the three realms to stagger, could only be slaughtered when he met Durga. This battle made all the gods see the fact that Durga saved the heaven.

But what Agudenba didn't expect was that the crow Betty was full of sympathy and respect for the bull demon Mahisha. He sang a hymn to the bull, "The Bull Demon Mahisha," for Agudemba:

 

I'm a bull

I don't know how to look back

because of this world

full of all kinds of evil

 

Cows eat grass

The milk is squeezed out

When I was young, I pulled a plow and plowed the fields.

Carry goods and carry goods when you are young

when we get old

Just a plate of Chinese food

 

Every festival and festival

Cow head becomes tribute

Beef is a delicacy on earth

Cowhide is human clothing

We are shattered to pieces

Just for others to enjoy

sacrifice our lives

exchange for other people's happiness

Where can there be justice in heaven?

Hate the injustice of heaven

 

I'm a bull

Don’t want to be a slave in the mortal world

Don’t want to go to hell and be a ghost

I came to heaven and god realm

I rely on my own brute strength

Still have the courage to never look back

I am Mahisha, the bull demon king

 

I'm a bull

I call on cattle, horses and sheep to unite

I organize the demon army to fight the God of Wealth

I believe in my destiny

Not in God's hands

I want to destroy this old world

 

I'm a bull

Fight for freedom and happiness

I am not afraid of gods and evildoers

Even if I die on the battlefield

I believe it can also awaken the cattle tribe

I'm not crazy

I'm not an idiot

I will rise from the fire

I am a hero among the devil

I sing loudly for justice

Sing our unyielding voices
