#40b. Gajamukha asuran
Vibudha became a female elephant and Maagadar a male elephant. When they made love, a mighty son Gajamukha asuran was born to them. Many more asuras were born out of the hair follicles of the female elephant.
Maagdar was taken aback. How could he a rushi produce asuras? He asked Vibuda, "Tell me the truth now. Who are you?" Vibuda was honest and told him all about herself.
She said "I am an asura kanya sent to you to beget mighty sons. Please bless our children before I take them back to the asura kingdom"
Th news that a mighty son and may more valiant asuras have been born was a welcome news to the asura. They rejoiced on hearing this.
Sukraachaarya - the asura kulaguru - told Gajamukhan, "You must become very strong by doing penance and obtaining boons from lord Siva. He is very generous with his boons."
Gajamukha asuran started doing severe penance on Siva. Eventually Siva appeared before him and gave him several boons. Gajamukhan became invincible by the Devas. He would conquer and rule over all the three worlds.
Gajamuhkan made Maathangapuram his capital city and ruled all the three worlds. Deva became his servants and did menial jobs given to them by him.
