Asura is a celestial figure with magical power in Vedic and Hindu mythology. They are the opposite of the gods and enemies of them. The meaning of Ashura is not a heavenly god, and the heavenly god is called Shura. In Indian mythology, it is said that the Great Brahma deity has more than 10 sons, including Morizha, Angelo, Suliqu, and Dharma. Kashyapa, the son of Moritzah, married the 13 daughters of Dasha. The first wife Titi and the second wife Danu gave birth to many evil gods, evil gods, and evil gods, collectively known as Asura or non heavenly gods. The third wife, Aditi, gave birth to some gods or Shura. The god of heaven invited the son of Angelo Immortal, the chief priest of Jupiter, as the teacher and priest, instead of the god of heaven - the asuras invited Taibai Immortal, the son of Beili Qu Immortal, the master of Venus, as the teacher and priest. Both sides engaged in an endless war, and human warfare is also a part of the war they engage in or a reflection of the war they engage in on earth [2] [4].
Asura can be a god (belonging to Adityas, among which Varuna and Mithara are the first, including Agni, Indra, etc.), and sometimes it can also be a demon in the sky, the enemy of the gods. But as early as in Atharvaveda, Ashura was only regarded as a demon. Occasionally, they also made enemies (Atharvaveda Ⅷ). For gods, they are only referred to as' divas'. In the Upanishads, the gods are referred to as "Shura". From this, people also interpret 'A-Shura' as' non divine '. At this point, Asura was completely in opposition to the gods. In later Indian literature, Ashura has become a high-level demon opposing the gods. The gods defeated Asura and smashed it with the help of Agni's ode (Rigveda X). Indra defeated the representative Ashura, first of all Frito, Biblo and Pochin. Therefore, Indra (sometimes called Agni) is called "Ashu Arhat", which means "killing Ashura". After his death, Asura entered the kingdom of Varuna. In the era of the Sanskrit, Asura was associated with darkness and night. Formed most of the stories of the struggle between the gods and Asura. The creators of Asura are generally believed to be the Creator (q.v.) (in later mythology, it is Brahma): Asura was born from his breath that can be reborn (in the Idalus Sanskrit). According to another legend, he was born from a drop of water, or from the groin of Brahma, the birth master (Vishnu Puranas, Puranas). It is difficult to accurately delineate all members of Asura. But generally it includes Daitya, Danava, and other descendants of Gayebo. They were born to Brahma and therefore the brothers of the gods, possessing wisdom, power, and the ability to transform. They have three cities in heaven: iron, silver, and gold. They also have cities in the underground kingdom. The highest priest and teacher of Ashura is the Taibai Immortal, the son of Biliqu. Their king is a golden bed.
Ashura is full of arrogance and malice, so happiness no longer patronizes them. Indra defeated them in battle. Rudra burned their three castles to the ground and drove them out of the heaven. The wild boar monster Yimusuo stole the sacrificial seeds from the gods to cook Congee. But Indra killed the wild boar monster, and Vishnu took the seed back from the kingdom of Asura and gave it to the gods. Indra killed Shangbala, Namuzhi and Bulumo, and married Shezhi, the latter's daughter. The gods led by Indra and Rudra saved Dora from Sumo (Sumo was helped by Asura led by Taibai Immortal). Indra killed Fredo and others. Ashura stirred the milk sea with the gods. The gods stole the stirred fairy dew. Among the Ashura monsters, only Ra 睺 took a sip, so he had an immortal head. Ashura engaged in a fierce battle with the gods. Vishnu and other gods drove Ashura underground and to the bottom of the ocean. Vishnu turned into a wild boar and killed Jinmu, and fixed the earth in the ocean. The gold bed of the Ashura imprisons the son of Vishnu, Boraharado. Vishnu turned into a human lion, killed the golden bed, and saved Boraharata. Vishnu also turned into a dwarf and took back the domination of the universe for the gods from the hand of King Bari of Ashura.
In the earliest "Rigveda" hymn, Asura was the general name of the gods in the heaven, while in "Atharvaveda", it specifically referred to demons, and the gods were called divas, thus forming a concept of opposition between gods and demons represented by Asura and divas. As a result of the gradual development of this concept of gods and demons, it finally replaced the original concept of gods and demons marked by the battle between Indra and Frito. For example, in Sanskrit books, Deva and Asura are described as two camps of gods and demons fighting head to head. In later Indian classics, the opposition and struggle between the gods Deva and the highest demon Asura clearly constitute the main theme of mythological legends. Ashura has evolved from the primitive god of the Indo Iraqi period to the demon of the Indian Aryan period, probably related to the rise of the air god Indra. The opposite of Indra, Frito, is often confused with the demon Dasha (Daxiu) in Rigveda. The latter is the demonized image of Indian indigenous people, while Frito is regarded as the symbol of demonized non Aryan tribal leaders. Indra's act of cutting off Frito is a metaphorical expression of Indian Aryan people's conquest of local natives. Adityas (Zhong'ashura), led by Varuna, could not defeat Fulido, and could not finish the task of subduing the natives. So Varuna, the original clan ancestor god, had to give up the position of "overlord" and replace it with Indra, the new clan ancestor god. Since then, the general trend of Asura has gone, and the power of Deva, led by Indra, has become increasingly powerful, becoming the main object of people's praise. The usurped Asura was unwilling to fail and always wanted to restore his former hegemonic position, which evolved into a struggle between Asura and Deva. In fact, this is the reflection of the intensification of internal contradictions among Indian Aryan people and the confrontation between various clans and tribes. As time goes by, the traditional concept of god devil confrontation has formed [3].Ahura and Deva in ancient Persian mythology are homologous with Asura Deva, and both are in opposite positions. But the identity is just the opposite: Ahura is a god, and Dway is a demon.
