KANDA PURAANAM - ASURA KAANDAM
2. ( # 3 A). THE BIRTH OF ASURAS.
The depressed rushi suddenly saw the lady who had stolen his heart, right in front of him. She told him, “I am the cause of your fever of love. I am the medicine that will cure you. Come let us get rid of the love-fever. You must take a beautiful form to match mine.”
The rushi took the form of a Deva. She took his hand and entered the first mandapam. There Soorapadman was born in the first quarter of the night. From their sweat thirty thousand units of asuras were born.
Then they entered the second mandapam. She took the form of a lioness and he took the form of a lion. In the second quarter of the night a son was born to them. He has a thousand lion faces and two thousand arms.
From their sweat forty thousand units of asuras were born and all of them were lion-faced.
