“ | No society can prosper if it aims at making things easier - instead it should aim at making people stronger. | „ |
~ Ashoka |
“ | Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, has caused this Dhamma edict to be written. Here (in my domain) no living beings are to be slaughtered or offered in sacrifice. Formerly, in the kitchen of Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, hundreds of thousands of animals were killed every day to make curry. But now with the writing of this Dhamma edict only three creatures, two peacocks and a deer are killed, and the deer not always. And in time, not even these three creatures will be killed. | „ |
~ Ashoka from his edicts, 257 BC |

What God shall we adore with our oblation?"), Law Manipulation ("Neer may he harm us who is earth's Begetter, nor he whose laws are sure, the heavens' Creator, He who brought forth the great and lucid waters.

Can control the primordial force that created everything; shown in early texts as the Hiranyagarbha), Curse Manipulation (Could curse other deities that he created such as Kamadev, the deity of love.

A later version of the myth is found in the Skanda Purana, according to which, Brahma creates Kama from his mind to ignite passion in the prajapatis (agents of creation) after they refused to procreate), Information Manipulation and Data Manipulation (Type 2 for both - He is the god of data because through creativity he give us many options. He is the god of language, speech and symbols.

The “night of Brahma” is a condition of a particular Brahmanda or universe. During the night of Brahma, nothing exists in the Brahmanda except for Brahma; or rather, all such existence is folded into Brahma, to be poured forth from him when he wakes at the start of his next “day”. Can slay anyone with a mere thought) and Omnipotence/Power Bestowal/Power Nullification/Power Absorption/Power Modification (Brahma can give boons, making Kubera from a Yaksha to a wealth deity who controls all the wealth in the world. That Lord of all creatures and the Creator of the Universe viz., the Self-create Prajapati himself--that god possessed of great ascetic merit--is the grandfather of Ravana. And Pulastya hath a mighty son called Vaisravana begotten of a cow. But his son, leaving his father, went to his grandfather. And, O king, angered at this, his father then created a second self of himself. And with half of his own self that regenerate one became born of Visrava for wrecking a vengeance on Vaisravana. But the Grandsire, pleased with Vaisravana, gave him immortality, and sovereignty of all the wealth of the Universe, the guardianship of one of the cardinal points, the friendship of Isana, and a son named Nalakuvera. And he also gave him for his capital Lanka, which was guarded by hosts of Rakshasas, and also a chariot called Pushpaka capable of going everywhere according to the will of the rider.

Controls the force that ends all of existence in the form of Pralaya and has the ability to destroy everything with his Third Eye or with Trishula. He Can control the destruction of all Creation at the end of each Yuga), Reality Warping (It follows from this that - although the boon granted by Brahma to the three cities of Tripura was "destruction only by a single skilful shot" - Shiva’s power is of a different order, not bound by the laws constraining those of other beings. Shiva thus has no need of a mighty war chariot, or weapons - even those forged from the very bodies of gods - when the merest twitch of his mouth can shatter worlds), Soul Manipulation (Shiva is considered the Great Yogi who is totally absorbed in himself – the transcendental reality.), Omnipotence (O son! It is Shankara who created all the subjects, mobile and immobile. O lord of the earth! There is no other being who is superior to Mahadeva. He is the creator of all the beings in the three worlds.

This association is also attested to in the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Courtright translates this passage as follows: "You continually dwell in the sacral plexus at the base of the spine [mūlādhāra cakra]."

To what is One, sages give many a title"), Life Manipulation and Healing (His life-force is perfect and in most texts, he can heal all injuries), Omnipotence (Mahavishnu and in Vaishnavite traditions, he transcends creation. He can cause all living beings to rise up and impel them to go about their daily activities in the Rigveda. In Srimad Bhagavatam, this is explained as: Kāraṇārṇavaśāyī Viṣṇu is the first incarnation of the Supreme Lord, and He is the master of eternal time, space, cause and effects, mind. In Vaishnavism; Mahavishnu enters each of the many universes so created (seeds emerging from the pores of His skin) as Garbhodaksayi Vishnu, who lays down in each and every of these individual material universes (Brahmanas). It can be interpreted that Garbodakshayi Vishnu is the collective soul of all souls in a particular material universe, and that Mahavishnu is the collective soul of all souls in all of the material universes and he can make himself all-powerful; Is all-powerful according to Vaishnavite beliefs as Mahavishnu), Avatar Creation (Each of his avatars but specifically Krishna and Rama, especially in Vaishnavite tradition), Creation (In the Vyasa of the Bhagavata, "all the worlds, from the realm of Brahma included in the Brahmanda (cosmic sphere), are spheres in which experiences conferring Aisvarya (prosperity and power) can be obtained. But they are destructible and those who attain them are subject to return. Therefore destruction, i.e., return is unavoidable for the aspirants for Aisvarya, as the regions where it is attained perish. On the contrary there is no birth to those who attain Me, the Omniscient, who has true resolves, whose sport is creation, sustentation and dissolution of the entire universe, who is supremely compassionate and who is always of the same form. For these reasons there is no destruction in the case of those who attain Me. He now elucidates the time-period settled by the Supreme Person's will in regard to the evolution and dissolution of the worlds up to the cosmic sphere of Brahma and of those who are within them. He is believed to have emerged from the primeval ocean, Garbhodaka. One version of the cosmology, for example, states that Vishnu's eye is at the Southern Celestial Pole from where he watches the cosmos. In another version found in section 4.80 of the Vayu Purana, he is the Hiranyagarbha, or the golden egg from which were simultaneously born all feminine and masculine beings of the universe), Reality Warping (Lakshmi is his power; and should possess this ability, especially in Vaishnavite traditions), Time Manipulation (Like other Puranas, it discusses a wide range of topics including cosmology, genealogy, geography, mythology, legend, music, dance, yoga and culture. As it begins, the forces of evil have won a war between the benevolent devas (deities) and evil asuras (demons) and now rule the universe. Truth re-emerges as the Vishnu avatar first makes peace with the demons, understands them and then creatively defeats them, bringing back hope, justice, freedom and good – a cyclic theme that appears in many legends) and Conceptual Manipulation (The historic identifiers of his icon include his image holding a conch shell (shankha named Panchajanya) between the first two fingers of one hand (left back), a chakra – war discus named Sudarshana – in another (right back). The conch shell is spiral and symbolizes all of interconnected spiraling cyclic existence, while the discus symbolizes him as that which restores dharma with war if necessary when cosmic equilibrium is overwhelmed by evil. One of his arms sometimes carries a gada (club, mace named Kaumodaki) which symbolizes authority and power of knowledge. In the fourth arm, he holds a lotus flower (padma) which symbolizes purity and transcendence), Omnipresence (Several hymns of the Rigveda repeat the mighty deed of Vishnu called the Trivikrama, which is one of the lasting mythologies in Hinduism since the Vedic times. It is an inspiration for ancient artwork in numerous Hindu temples such as at the Ellora Caves, which depict the Trivikrama legend through the Vamana avatar of Vishnu. Trivikrama refers to the celebrated three steps or "three strides" of Vishnu. Starting as a small insignificant looking being, Vishnu undertakes a herculean task of establishing his reach and form, then with his first step covers the earth, with second the ether, and the third entire heaven), Nonduality (Type 3 - Is equal to Shiva and in Bhagavata Purana 1.2.10-11, The Bhagavata Purana, in many passages, parallels the ideas of Nirguna Brahman and non-duality of Adi Shankara. For example: The aim of life is an inquiry into the Truth, and not the desire for enjoyment in heaven by performing religious rites. Those who possess the knowledge of the Truth, call the knowledge of non-duality as the Truth), Omniscience (Is knowledgeable on everything), Light Manipulation (In the Vedic hymns, Vishnu is invoked alongside other deities, especially Indra, whom he helps in killing the symbol of evil named Vritra. His distinguishing characteristic in Vedas is his association with light. Two Rigvedic hymns in Mandala 7 refer to Vishnu. The Bhagavata asserts, according to Bryant, that the empirical and the spiritual universe are both metaphysical realities, and manifestations of the same Oneness, just like heat and light are "real but different" manifestations of sunlight), Probability Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation (Yoganidra and can restore the cosmic order of existence) and Fate Manipulation/Causality Manipulation (The theology in the Bhagavad Gita discusses both the sentient and the non-sentient, the Self and the matter of existence. It envisions the universe as the body of Vishnu (Krishna), state Harold Coward and Daniel Maguire. Vishnu in Gita's theology pervades all selves, all matter, and time), Power Nullification (Is also immune to all powers, especially in Vaishnavism), Shapeshifting (He assumes 10 different forms in four Yugas to destroy unrighteousness and protect virtue), Life Manipulation (From his breath. Every universe is covered by seven layers — earth, water, fire, air, sky, the total energy and false ego — each ten times greater than the previous one. There are innumerable universes besides this one, and although they are unlimitedly large, they move about like atoms in You. Therefore You are called unlimited [ananta]. Mahavishnu is said to rule over all existence and the one who created the spiritual realms. The Shatapatha Brahmana contains ideas which Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism has long mapped to a pantheistic vision of Vishnu as supreme, he as the essence in every being and everything in the empirically perceived universe. In this Brahmana, states Klaus Klostermaier, Purusha Narayana (Vishnu) asserts, "all the worlds have I placed within mine own self, and my own self has I placed within all the worlds." The text equates Vishnu to all knowledge there is (Vedas), calling the essence of everything as imperishable, all Vedas and principles of universe as imperishable, and that this imperishable which is Vishnu is the all), Elemental Manipulation (Has complete control of the elements, the material ego, the modes of nature, the senses, the universal form of the Lord, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, and the sum total of all living beings, both moving and non-moving. According to Vaishnava cosmogony, he puts the seed of this material universe in Mahamaya by glancing at her. Mahamaya remains the ever obedient material energy of Vishnu. All the natural elements including sky, fire, water, air and land are created along with mind, intelligence and false ego), Creation (Some versions of the Purana texts, unlike the Vedic and Upanishadic texts, emphasize Vishnu as supreme and on whom other gods depend. Vishnu, for example, is the source of creator deity Brahma in the Vaishnavism-focussed Purana texts. Vishnu's iconography and a Hindu myth typically shows Brahma being born in a lotus emerging from his navel, who then is described as creating the world or all the forms in the universe, but not the primordial universe itself. In contrast, the Shiva-focussed Puranas describe Brahma and Vishnu to have been created by Ardhanarishvara, that is half Shiva and half Parvati; or alternatively, Brahma was born from Rudra, or Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma creating each other cyclically in different aeons (kalpa). In some Vaishnava Puranas, Vishnu takes the form of Rudra or commands Rudra to destroy the world, thereafter the entire universe dissolves and along with time, everything is reabsorbed back into Vishnu. The universe is then recreated from Vishnu all over again, starting a new Kalpa. For this the Bhagavata Purana employs the metaphor of Vishnu as a spider and the universe as his web. Other texts offer alternate cosmogenic theories, such as one where the universe and time are absorbed into Shiva. Vaishnava thought holds Vishnu to exist in the alternate guise of "Isvara, the Lord of All Being" and the universe to be his breath that he will "assimilate" into him again, by breathing and causing the end of the world, which has happened before. Afterwards, he will "exhale again and re-create the world."), Power Bestowal (Can continually increase his abilities to the utmost. The Vaishnava tradition started by Madhvacharya considers Vishnu in the form of Krishna to be the supreme creator, personal God, all-pervading, all devouring, one whose knowledge and grace leads to "moksha". In Madhvacharya Vaishnava theology, the supreme Vishnu and the Selfs of living beings are two different realities and nature (dualism), while in Ramanuja's Sri Vaishnavism, they are different but share the same essential nature (qualified non-dualism). In the Bhakti tradition of Vaishnavism, Vishnu is attributed with numerous qualities such as omniscience, energy, strength, lordship, vigour, and splendour), Power Nullification (In his capacity as Mahavishnu, the deity is known as the Supreme Purusha, the absolute protector and sustainer of the universe, the one who is beyond human comprehension, and all attributes), Omnipotence (According to Max Muller, "Although the gods are sometimes distinctly invoked as the great and the small, the young and the old (Rig Veda 1:27:13), this is only an attempt to find the most comprehensive expression for the divine powers and nowhere is any of the gods represented as the subordinate to others. It would be easy to find, in the numerous hymns of the Veda, passages in which almost every single god is represented as supreme and absolute" where in Vaishnavite texts, he could give omnipotence to beings such as his avatar Krishna or Rama. The Vaishnava tradition started by Madhvacharya considers Vishnu in the form of Krishna to be the supreme creator, personal God and as God in Vaishnavism, he should have this ability; also as Mahavishnu. In Bhagavad Gita, his existence is the start for material creation, Krishna's plenary expansion assumes three Vishnus. The first, Mahā Viṣhṇu, creates the total material energy, known as the mahat-tattva. The second, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, enters into all the universes to create diversities and the third, Kṣīrodakaśāyī Vishnu, is diffused as the all-pervading super soul in all the universes; in the heart of every living being, is known as Paramātmā. He is present even within the atoms. The goal of life is to know Kṛṣṇa, who is situated within the heart of every living being as Paramātmā, the four-handed Viṣṇu form. Within Vaishnavism as the supreme being who creates, protects and destroys the universe. In the Yajurveda, Taittiriya Aranyaka (10.13.1), "Narayana sukta", Narayana is mentioned as the supreme being. The first verse of "Narayana Suktam" mentions the words paramam padam, which literally mean 'highest post' and may be understood as the 'supreme abode for all Selfs'. This is also known as Param Dhama, Paramapadam, or Vaikuntha. Rigveda 1.22.20 also mentions the same paramam padam. The Bhagavata Purana summarizes the Vaishnava theology, wherein it frequently discusses the merging of the individual Self with the Absolute Brahman (Ultimate Reality, Supreme Truth), or "the return of Brahman into His own true nature", a distinctly Advaitic or non-dualistic philosophy of Shankara. The concept of moksha is explained as Ekatva ('Oneness') and Sayujya ('Absorption, intimate union'), wherein one is completely lost in Brahman (Self, Supreme Being, one's true nature). This is proclamation of "return of the individual Self to the Absolute and its merging into the Absolute"), Omnipresence (Mahavishnu also is said to exist everywhere. Vishnu (or Viṣṇu, Sanskrit: विष्णु) means 'all pervasive' and, according to Medhātith (c. 1000 CE), 'one who is everything and inside everything'. Vedanga scholar Yaska (4th century BCE) in the Nirukta defines Vishnu as viṣṇur viṣvater vā vyaśnoter vā ('one who enters everywhere'); also adding atha yad viṣito bhavati tad viṣnurbhavati ('that which is free from fetters and bondage is Vishnu') The Garuda Purana (chapter XV) and the "Anushasana Parva" of the Mahabharata both list over 1000 names for Vishnu, each name describing a quality, attribute, or aspect of God. Known as the Vishnu Sahasranama, Vishnu here is defined as 'the omnipresent'. Elsewhere in Rigveda, Atharvaveda and Upanishadic texts, Vishnu is equivalent to Prajapati, both are described as the protector and preparer of the womb, and according to Klaus Klostermaier, this may be the root behind the post-Vedic fusion of all the attributes of the Vedic Prajapati unto the avatars of Vishnu. He is also able to be competent in anything he wants through using his power or by willing it), Law Manipulation (In Vaishnavism. The term Mahavishnu refers to the absolute truth, Brahman (impersonal invisible aspect) then as Paramatma (Aspect beyond the understanding of human soul), and finally as Sarvatma (incarnating for bringing perfection) Bhakti (loving devotion) is offered to Sarvatman (Krishna or Rama avatars or incarnations of Vishnu, Narayana bringing both peace and perfection of the living beings)), Conceptual Manipulation (In the Bhagavad Gita, Vishnu states that "Whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness increases I send myself forth. For the protection of the good and for the destruction of evil, and for the establishment of righteousness, I come into being age after age), Water Manipulation (Controls the primordial force of the Ocean of Milk), Reality Warping (He is known to maintain all of reality through his Yoganidra. A traditional depiction of Vishnu is that of him reclining on the coils of the serpent Shesha, accompanied by his consort Lakshmi, as he "dreams the universe into reality.". Hari plucked two hairs from his body. One was white and the other was black. These two hairs entered the wombs of two women from the Yadu lineage, Rohini and Devaki. One of them became Baladeva and the second one that was black became Keshava” - Text 30: When the cowherd woman [Kṛṣṇa’s foster mother, Yaśodā] was trying to tie the hands of her son with ropes, she found the rope to be always insufficient in length, and when she finally gave up, Lord Kṛṣṇa, by and by, opened His mouth, wherein the mother found all the universes situated. Seeing this, she was doubtful in her mind, but she was convinced in a different manner of the mystic nature of her son. His soul is purer than any other. In this way, bhakti surpasses even yoga, which is aimed at the Supersoul, Paramatman. Mahavishnu is the Supersoul of all living beings (jivatmas) in all material universes))
Omnipresence, Immortality (Type 1, 5, 8, 9), Beyond-Dimensional Existence (Type 2; Krishna's true form is shapeless, formless and Everything but Atma/Parmatma is illusion beyond the confines of all of creation, he's unchanging Parmatma, all of existence is nothing but mere illusion to him), Acausality (Type 5; His true form is beyond comprehension of being and cannot be perceived even with divine eyes or any other means, his true form is seen by none but only his Colossus form has been seen once by Arjuna and he's timeless, shapeless, Krishna is creator of illusionary world and beyond it and this it's qualities beyond all of illusionary existence and qualities, making it impossible to be perceived, he's detached from all attachments from this world), Reality Warping (Everything but Atma/Parmatma is illusion.

His being is unmanifested and goes beyond material world and mind, leaving it incomprehensible), Spatial Manipulation, Time Manipulation (Everything but Atma/Parmatma is illusion. He has total control over all of illusive Universal tree), Law Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Mind Manipulation (Krishna is beyond law, Dharma, karma, cycle of life and death and all materialistic world. He created all laws, concepts and cycle of the world, created limitless distractions which can astray humans of their path), Power Nullification (Possesses the counter to everything through as the Supreme Personality of Godhead {Gaudiya Vaishnavism}), Superhuman Physical Characteristics (In the Vishnu Purana, even as a child, he is capable of fighting asuras that can become mountains), Omnipotence/Omnipresence/Avatar Creation (In the Mahabharata and in Vaishnavism; During the ancient times that the Srimad Bhagavad Gita was composed in, Krishna was widely seen as an avatar of Vishnu rather than an individual deity but he is Svayam Bhagavan (Supreme God) in Gaudiya Vaishnavism. He was immensely powerful and everything was seen inside Shri Krishna, including the whole Multiverse and Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva when he showed his Vishwaroop (the universal and supreme form) to Arjun when he was teaching the Bhagavat Gita to Arjun. Krishna had "no beginning or end", "fill[ed] space", and every god was seen as ultimately him, including Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, "storm gods, sun gods, bright gods", light gods, "and gods of ritual." Other forces also existed in his body, such as "hordes of varied creatures" that included "celestial serpents." He is also "the essence of humanity. He is everything and Nothing". In Vaishnavism and in the Mahabharata; is also generally seen to be a universally supreme being) Telekinesis (Sometimes shown as a child in texts where his childhood is featured - Hindus in some regions such as Maharashtra playfully mimic his legends, such as by making human gymnastic pyramids to break open handis (clay pots) hung high in the air to "steal" butter or buttermilk, spilling it all over the group. In Hindu stories, he is said to be a trickster and a playful deity and as a child, he is said to have played games) Universal Lordship (Lord of the Universe.), Reality Warping (In Vaishnavism), Weapon Mastery (Mastery over Chariots, especially seen in the Mahabharata), Sound Manipulation (Some iconography shows him playing music), Empathic Manipulation (He is known for his unending compassion towards his devotees. He is known for his compassion towards all living beings. Could be empowered by love and he Was said to be a true hero who performed many feats of power and he is said to have the purest heart. He is the spiritual essence and the love-eternal in existence, the Gopis metaphorically represent the Prakrti matter and the impermanent body. God of Tenderness and he Could guard beings without any effort. He restored the honor of 16,000 women who were kidnapped by Narakasura.

According to the epic poem Mahabharata, Krishna becomes Arjuna's charioteer for the Kurukshetra War, but on the condition that he personally will not raise any weapon. Upon arrival at the battlefield and seeing that the enemies are his family, his grandfather, and his cousins and loved ones, Arjuna is moved and says his heart will not allow him to fight and kill others. He would rather renounce the kingdom and put down his Gandiva (Arjuna's bow). Krishna then advises him about the nature of life, ethics, and morality when one is faced with a war between good and evil, the impermanence of matter, the permanence of the soul and the good, duties and responsibilities, the nature of true peace and bliss and the different types of yoga to reach this state of bliss and inner liberation. This conversation between Krishna and Arjuna is presented as a discourse called the Bhagavad Gita and he can do/know whatever he wishes as the Supreme Personality of the Godhead. Other texts that include Krishna such as the Bhagavad Gita have attracted numerous bhasya (commentaries) in the Hindu traditions. Though only a part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata, it has functioned as an independent spiritual guide. It allegorically raises through Krishna and Arjuna the ethical and moral dilemmas of human life, then presents a spectrum of answers, weighing in on the ideological questions on human freedoms, choices, and responsibilities towards self and towards others. This Krishna dialogue has attracted numerous interpretations, from being a metaphor of inner human struggle teaching non-violence, to being a metaphor of outer human struggle teaching a rejection of quietism to persecution), Resurrection (He resurrected Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu and Uttara after he was born dead due to Asvatthama's powers. Krishna's life is closer to that of a human being in Harivamsa, but is a symbolic universe in the Bhagavata Purana, where Krishna is within the Multiverse and beyond it, as well as the Multiverse itself, always)

He could fight scores of enemies at once, being a Atimaharathi, someone who can fight millions of soldiers at once), Darkness Manipulation and possible Statistics Amplification (The name Rama appears repeatedly in Hindu texts, for many different scholars and kings in mythical stories.

When asking Vishnu for grace or forgiveness, the devotees often approach him through the intermediary presence of Lakshmi. She is also the personification of spiritual fulfillment. In the Epics of Hinduism, such as in Mahabharata, Lakshmi personifies wealth, riches, happiness, loveliness, grace, charm, and splendor. In another Hindu legend about the creation of the universe as described in Ramayana, Lakshmi springs with other precious things from the foam of the ocean of milk when it is churned by the gods and demons for the recovery of Amṛta and can transfer powers on a whim. In South India, Lakshmi is seen in two forms, Sridevi and Bhudevi, both at the sides of Venkateshwara, a form of Vishnu. Bhudevi is the representation and totality of the material world or energy, called the Apara Prakriti, or Mother Earth; Sridevi is the spiritual world or energy called the Prakriti.

Law Manipulation (In the Sarada Tilaka, an 8th century text, it states that May the goddess of speech enable us to attain all possible eloquence"), Existence Erasure (In Tibet and parts of India, Nilasaraswati is sometimes considered as a form of Mahavidya Tara.

A legend in the Bhagavata Purana describes Saraswati as originally being one of the three wives of Vishnu, along with Lakshmi and Ganga. In the midst of a conversation, Saraswati observed that Ganga playfully kept glancing at Vishnu, behind Lakshmi and her back. Frustrated, Saraswati launched a furious tirade against Ganga, accusing her of stealing Vishnu's love away from her. When Ganga appealed to her husband to help her, he opted to remain neutral, not wishing to participate in a quarrel between his three wives, whom he loved equally. When Lakshmi attempted to soothe Saraswati's anger by reasoning with her, the jealous goddess grew angry with her as well, accusing her of disloyalty towards her. She cursed Lakshmi to be born as the Tulasi plant upon the earth. Ganga, now enraged that Lakshmi had been cursed because she had defended her, cursed Saraswati that she would be incarnated as a river on earth.

Vadava wished to be accompanied to the source of these waters by a virgin, and so Saraswati was dispatched for his purpose, despite her reluctance. She took him to Varuna, the god of the ocean, who then consumed the being. For good measure, Saraswati transformed into a divine river, flowing with five channels into the sea, making the waters sacred. In the Padma Purana, it is stated that there was a terrible battle between the Bhargavas (a group of Brahmanas) and the Hehayas (a group of Kshatriyas). From this, an all-consuming fire called Vadavagni was born, which threatened to destroy the whole world. In some versions, a sage named Auva created it. Indra, Vishnu, and the devas visited Saraswati, requesting her to deposit the fire in the western ocean, in order to protect the universe. Saraswati told Vishnu that she would only agree to assist them if her consort, Brahma, told her to do so. Brahma ordered her to deposit the Vadavagni in the western ocean.

With two arrows Murugan cut off the flag and crown of Indra and shot seven more arrows on his chest. Varuna, Yama, the Sun, the Moon, Vayu, Agni all lay dead there. NArada – The Deva rishi always on the move – saw these unhappy events. He rushed to report them to Brihaspati. The Deva guru was upset with this piece of news. He rushed to the spot and prayed to Murugan.“Soorapadman and his Asuras had driven out Indra and all his Devas out of Swarga. Indra did penance on mount Meru. Without recognizing you they have waged a battle against you and got killed foolishly. Killing the Devas does not befit your valour. You must put an end to the Asuras. Please pardon these Devas and bring them back to life.” Murugan did as was requested by Bruhaspathi. All the Devas woke up as if from deep sleep... His time on earth is up.Mrityu flung a noose to grasp Shveta’s body. But Shiva’s companion struck Mrityu with a rod and killed him. When the news of this was taken to Yama, he was furious. With all his companions he attacked Shveta’s house. Nandi, Ganesha, Kartikeya and several of Shiva’s companions came to fight on Shiva’s side, and a battle royal raged. All the gods arrived to mediate and end the strife. Things had got a bit out of hand and Yama himself had been killed by Kartikeya. The problem seemed to defy solution. Yama was, after all, performing his duty. But Shiva insisted that his devotees would never be taken to Yama, but would instead go straight to heaven. Shiva’s conditon was finally agreed to. Nandi brought water from the Goutami Ganga and sprinkled it on Yama and the others who had died in the fighting.". He could become eternally youthful)

Varuna, addressed as Varuni explained Brahman in Taittiriya Upanishad to sage Bhrigu. First six anuvakas of Bhrigu Valli are called Bhargavi Varuni Vidya, which means "the knowledge Bhrigu got from (his father) Varuni". It is in these anuvakas that sage Varuni advises Bhrigu with one of the oft-cited definition of Brahman, as "that from which beings originate, through which they live, and in which they re-enter after death, explore that because that is Brahman". This thematic, all encompassing, eternal nature of reality and existence develops as the basis for Bhrigu's emphasis on introspection, to help peel off the outer husks of knowledge, in order to reach and realize the innermost kernel of spiritual Self-knowledge), Extrasensory Perception (Varuna in the Rigveda became synonymous with "all comprehensive sight, knowledge"), Spatial Manipulation (Associated with the sky), Weather Manipulation (God of rain and Could control storms) and Soul Manipulation/Empathic Manipulation/Creation (Through the Varunapasha; Varuna asked Rama to remember that he is "the soul of peace and love, wrath does not suit him".

The Sanskrit word Vāta literally means 'blown'; Vāyu, 'blower' and Prāna, 'breathing' (viz. the breath of life, cf. the *an- in animate). Hence, the primary referent of the word is the 'deity of life', who is sometimes for clarity referred to as Mukhya-Vāyu (the chief Vayu) or Mukhya Prāna (the chief of life force or vital force)) Life Mastery (The lord of life) Meta Power Immunity (After Indra struck an infant Hanuman with his Vajra, Lord Vayu became highly enraged.

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says that the gods who control bodily functions once engaged in a contest to determine who among them is the greatest. When a deity such as that of vision would leave a man's body, that man would continue to live, albeit as a blind man and having regained the lost faculty once the errant deity returned to his post. One by one the deities all took their turns leaving the body, but the man continued to live on, though successively impaired in various ways. Finally, when Mukhya Prāna started to leave the body, all the other deities started to be inexorably pulled off their posts by force, 'just as a powerful horse yanks off pegs in the ground to which he is bound'. This caused the other deities to realize that they can function only when empowered by Vayu, and can be overpowered by him easily. In another episode, Vayu is said to be the only deity not afflicted by demons of sin who were on the attack) Motion Manipulation (Without Vayu, all bodies will be reduced to dust... everyone is stationed like a piece of wood) Omnipresence (Vayu is said to be everywhere as he obstructed the excretory organs of all creatures and made it so that all creatures stopped breathing) Sky Deity (Limited) Air Embodiment (Lord of Air) Air Aura Air/Wind Generation (Can generate air at will which could be enough to kill gods) Enhanced Breath Esoteric Wind Generation Air Manipulation (Is also said to be the physical form of the wind) Conceptual Wind Manipulation (Can also control the concept of wind) Esoteric Wind Manipulation (His wind could casually threaten the entire universe) Pure/Sacred Wind Manipulation (Can control wind that bears divine properties) Tornado Manipulation (And cause natural disasters) Air Mimicry and Sky Energy Manipulation (Could become the air) Sky Manipulation (Via the air) Absolute Strength (Would have killed every deity had he not stopped himself) Supernatural Wisdom (Was an incredibly wise god)

After gaining this ownership, he locked them in Patala, the netherworld, making them inaccessible to priests and sages on earth, who needed them to perform yajnas. This led to the extinction of this practice, which in turn led to the devas losing their power. The worlds descended into famine and thirst. Durgama seized the opportunity to usurp the throne of Svarga from Indra, enslaving all the devas. Since Durgama's father had received a boon of protection for his entire family, the Trimurti were unable to intercede in this conflict.)
Fear Manipulation, Power Nullification and Invulnerability (Vishnu then thought of a ruse to get Gayasura put an end to his penance by offering him a boon in exchange for halting his tapasya.

In the battles between the devas and the demons (asuras), the devas, led by Indra, were defeated by Mahishasura. Subjected to defeat, the devas assembled in the mountains where their combined divine energies coalesced into the goddess Durga; Srimad Devi Bhagavatam Book 5 Chapter 6: “O Grand Sire! Grant, then, that no Deva, Dānava, nor human being of the male sex can cause my death. There is none among women who can cause my death. Therefore, O Lotus-eyed! Let woman be the cause of my death; how can women slay me! The are too weak to kill me!” Brahmā said:-- “O Lord of the Dānavas! Your death will certainly occur, at any time, through a woman; O Highly Fortunate One! No man will be able to cause your death.”), Shapeshifting (In Markandeya Purana Chapter 80: His innate ability. "She flung her noose and bound the great asura in this. When he was bound in this way in that great battle, he abandoned his form of a buffalo and instantly assumed the form of a lion. When Ambika severed its head, he was seen to be in the form of a man, holding a sword in his hand. When the goddess quickly cut down the man who was wielding a sword and a shield, he assumed the form of a gigantic elephant. The elephant dragged the large lion with its trunk and roared.

Narakasura hurled the Nagapasha against Krishna, but Krishna negated it with the Garudastra. In desperation, Narakasura launched the Vaishnavastra on Krishna, but Krishna met it with another Vaishnavastra.

In their forts. The Asuras had three citadels; the lowest was of iron, then there was one of silver, then one of gold. The gods could not conquer them; they sought to conquer them by siege; therefore they say--both those who know thus and those who do not--'By siege they conquer great citadels.' They made ready an arrow, Agni as the point, Soma as the socket, Visnu as the shaft. They said, 'Who shall shoot it?' 'Rudra', they said, 'Rudra is fierce, let him shoot it.' He said, 'Let me choose a boon; let me be overlord of Pashus.' Therefore is Rudra overlord of Pashus. Rudra let it go; it cleft the Citadels and drove the Asuras away from these worlds. The three brothers began to perform tapasya. For a hundred years they meditated standing only on one leg. For a thousand more years they lived on air and meditated. They stood on their heads and meditated in this posture for yet another thousand years. Brahma was pleased with this difficult tapasya. He appeared before them and said, "What boon do you want?" "Make us immortal", answered Tarakasura's sons. "I can’t make you immortal", replied Brahma. "I don’t have the power. Ask for something else instead". "Very well", then, said Tarakaksha, Vidyunmāli and Kamalaksha. "Grant us the following: Let three forts be made. The first will be of gold, the second of silver and the third of iron. We will live in these forts for a thousand years. These forts built in different worlds shall align once in every 1000 years. This combined fort will be called Tripura. And if anyone can then destroy Tripura with only a single arrow that shall be the death destined for us". They were great cities of prosperity, power and dominance over the world, but due to their impious nature. This rather unusual boon Brahma granted. There was a Danava named Maya who was very good at building work. Brahma asked him to build the forts. The golden fort was built in heaven, the silver one in the sky and the iron one on earth. Tarakaksha got the golden fort, Kamalaksha the silver one and Vidyunmali the iron one. Each of the forts was as big as a city and had many palaces and vimanas inside. The asuras populated the three forts and began to flourish. The gods did not like this at all. They first went to Brahma, but Brahma said he could not help them. After all, the asuras had got Tripura thanks to his boon and these were impregnable fortresses. Tripasura is a trio of asura brothers named Tarakaksha, Vidyunmāli and Kamalaksha, who, by Brahma, were granted the boon of having three forts: gold, silver and iron which angered the devas, forcing Vishnu to essentially create atheism, as the three brothers stood on one leg for a hundred years, lived on air and meditated for the next thousand years and then stood on their heads where Brahma “does not have the power” to grant immortality as they are given the boons of the three forts as they align throughout the universe every 1000 years with the fort being known as Tripura with only a single arrow that can destroy the three granting instant death where the golden fort was built in heaven, the silver one in the sky and the iron sky on the earth where their boon of three forts granted complete control of creation only after 1000 years where it required the creation of atheism to stop them as the three, at their full strength, transcend the concept of good and evil - they should beat Jvasasura due to the Pashupatastra containing the literal essence of both Vishnu and Agni.)
Reality Warping, Power Bestowal, Power Nullification and Power Modification (In the Shatapatha Brahmana, Indra lost his regal aura to Virochana, and had to flee Amaravati. Seeking to obtain his aura once more, he assumed the form of a poor priest and joined the service of the asura king. He learnt that Virochana had earned the favour of Shri due to his virtue. Pleased with Indra's service, Virochana offered his servant a boon of his choice, and the latter asked for Virochana's virtue. Without guile, Virochana granted him what he asked, and hence lost the favour of the goddess, whereas Indra was able to once again assume his throne. An Asura sage who had knowledge on the cosmos and virtually all things within. Bestowed his servant with a boon of his virtue as a result of his actions towards Indra.) and Immortality (Type 2/8 - In the Ganesha Purana, he was given a crown by Surya where he would only die if it was removed. He can survive any injury with his crown on and can only die if the crown is removed, which was later done by Vishnu in the form of a damsel in the Ganesha Purana)
Invulnerability and Sleep Manipulation (Ravana and Meghanada decided to kill Indra. At this juncture, Brahma intervened and asked Meghanada to free Indra. Meghanada obliged and was granted a chance to ask for a boon from Brahma. Meghanada asked for immortality, but Brahma remarked that absolute immortality is against the law of the nature. Instead, he was then granted another boon that after the completion of the Yagna (fire-worship) of his native goddess Prathyangira or the "Nikumbhila yagna" would be completed, he will get a celestial chariot, mounting on which, any enemy can't kill him in a war and become invulnerable. Brahma was highly impressed by Meghanada's valor in this war and it was Brahma who coined him the name Indrajita ("the conqueror of Indra"). It is also believed that Meghanada was granted another boon by Brahma in which it was promised to him that he would only be killed by a common man who hadn't slept for 12 years continuously), Absolute Illusion (Meghanada was also an expert in magical warfare, sorcery and tantra. Meghanada was the greatest warrior on Ravana's side. He was a great archer and unsurpassed grand master in illusion warfare techniques), Animal Manipulation (Nagaastra, a trap of a million venomous snakes), Invisibility (When I enter into combat, making myself invisible, even Indra the lord of celestials is not able to see or approach me. How much less, you two!; When he invokes the maya all of his arrows and divyastras like serpent noose and Brahmastra will become infallible and invincible. Meghnath with illusions is the strongest warrior in all of epics. He would effortlessly defeat all the characters from Ramayana and Mahabharata together), Darkness Manipulation and nullifier of Omniscience (Your son has performed seven extremely pervasive sacrifices—agnishtoma, ashvamedha sacrifice, bahusuvarnaka, rajasuya sacrifice, gomedha, and vaishnava. He has now engaged in maheshvara sacrifice, something that any man finds extremely difficult to undertake. After this, your son has obtained a boon from Pashupati himself. He has obtained a divine chariot that can travel in the firmament at will. He has obtained the maya named tamasi. Through this, one can create darkness. O lord of the rakshasas! If one fights with the use of this maya, not even the gods or the asuras are capable of knowing how to fight against such a person in a battle), Sound Manipulation (The handsome one enveloped the directions with a dark mist and rendered them invisible. The slap of his bowstring against his palm could not be heard. There was no sound from the axle of his chariot or the hooves of his horses. His movement could not be heard and his form could not be seen. Through that dark and dense cloud, there was the extraordinary downpour of his arrows.) as well as Death Manipulation and nullification of all forms of Immortality/Godhood (By the Vasavi Shakti, a dart of anti-mortality that can kill any being who is immortal or invincible which can only be used once. When Indrajita discovered that both Rama and Lakshmana had been rescued by Garuda and were still alive, he was livid and vowed to kill at least one of the brothers on that day. When the battle started, he used all his force to cast a havoc on the armies of Sugriva. At this Lakshmana appeared before him and fought him fiercely. Indrajita used his supreme magical powers, darting across the clouds and skies like a bolt of lightning. He combined his skills of sorcery and illusion warfare, repeatedly vanishing and reappearing behind Lakshmana's back. He was invisible but his arrows injured Lakshmana. Indrajita used the Vasavi Sakthi against Lakshmana, and upon being impaled Lakshmana fell unconscious, poised to die precisely at the following sunrise)
Invulnerability (Shiva Purana : Chapter 17 of Rudra Samhita: There was once an Asura born of the vast sheet of water (ocean). He was known by the name Jalandhara. He resembled the god of death. It was by penance that he acquired his exploits. All Devas including Gandharvas, Yaksas, Nagas and Raksasas, and even the unborn lord Brahma were defeated by him in battle. After conquering Devas and Brahma, Jalandhara went to the lord of the chiefs of Devas, Visnu, the destroyer of the universe, and the preceptor. A battle ensued between them without respite for a whole night and day. Lord Visnu was defeated by him.), Empathic Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Power Nullification, Power Bestowal, Healing, BFR, Regeneration and Immortality (Type 9 - Jalandhara became the lord of the three worlds (heaven, earth, and the underworld).

Upon seeing Shiva and his avatars dominate the battlefield, Jalandhara created an illusion. This distracted his army, but not himself. Meanwhile, Jalandhara disguised himself as Shiva and went to Parvati in order to trick her) and Superhuman Physical Characteristics (He can throw mountains)
Invulnerability, Statistics Amplification, Statistics Reduction (of enemies) and Power Nullification (In the Vana Parva, the kalakeyas, allied with the nivatakavachas, waged war on the devas, attacking Devaloka. They were able to inflict a defeat on their enemies. In retaliation, Indra tasked his son, Arjuna, with the mission of destroying the nivatakavachas, accompanied by his own charioteer, Matali. After fulfilling this task, while returning to Devaloka, Arjuna came across a splendid city. Matali told him that the city was called Hiranyapura, the golden city, and had been created by Brahma as a result of a boon. The boon had been sought by two asura women named Puloma and Kala, who wished that their sons, the paulomas and the kalakeyas, would be invincible against the devas, the nagas, and the rakshasas)
Illusion Manipulation (His Maya(illusion power) should increase 10 times)), Telepathy and Power Nullification (Ravana then made up his mind to conquer all the kings of the earth. After defeating the likes of Dushyanta, Suratha, Gadhi, Gaya and Pururava, Ravana approached Ayodhya. The city was protected by king Anaranya. There ensued a fight between Ravana and Anaranya and both the warriors fought to their full prowess. Anaranya was unable to defeat Ravana, being severely struck with his arrows. Before dying, Anaranya cursed Ravana that someone later would be born in Ayodhya who would kill him. Having effected the defeat of Anaranya, Ravana subjugated other kings of the earth. Within a short span of time, Ravana brought all the kings of the earth under his control), Invulnerability (Ravana only died to the Brahmastra in the hands of Rama, who was basically God in the Valmiki Ramayana. "In the course of combats with the gods and demons, the armour gifted to me by Brahma, the lord of creation, which is as brilliant as the sun, could not be mutilated by those who held the thunderbolt in their fists."), Fear Manipulation and Absolute Destruction (Ravana took up the Celestial and dreadful Pashupata-weapon, the increaser of fear in the Three Worlds, obtained from Rudra, by virtue of his rigid penances. “Beholding this, all moveable and immoveable beings were stricken with terror and the Three Worlds, including all that was animate and inanimate, Gods and Serpents, together took refuge in their abodes under the earth), Power Nullification (He must have the greatest strength), Power Modification and Power Bestowal (He must have all weaponry of Lord Shiva.

"Thereafter, O Rama, he began to range the entire world subduing the foremost of warriors, irresistible in combat and those who were filled with courage and boiling with ardour, who dreamt only of war and who perished with their troops by refusing to submit to him. But those, who knew Ravana to be invincible, showed themselves to be more wary and said to that titan, proud of his strength, ‘We have been vanquished!’ With the sword.

A terrible fight followed where none of them could emerge victorious. Finally, Yama invoked his Kaladanda to bring an end to Ravana. However, Brahma appeared and intervened in the fight between the two. Brahma convinced Yama that the Kaladanda would render futile on Ravana's body), Environmental Destruction (He should have complete control over nature), Vibration Manipulation, Sound Manipulation (Ravana let out a loud cry which echoed through the three worlds. His cry filled the gods, demons, gandharvas and yakshas with fear. Eventually with Lord Shiva's permission, Ravana left Mount Kailasha with his army. This instance shows Ravana's strength. He was strong enough to lift Lord Shiva's abode with his hands), Weapon Mastery (He defeated humans who were powerful as Indra), Immortality (Type 5 and 9 - Those with Amrit are absolutely immortal; should upscale from Karna who bore armour that could resist every Astra since Ravan existed in the Treta Yuga and is majorly recognised as the most powerful demon in Hindu mythology. He is said to have possessed the nectar of immortality, which was stored inside his belly thanks to a celestial boon from Brahma), Reality Warping, Power Mimicry and Power Bestowal (Ravana wanted his son to be the ultimate warrior and extremely knowledgeable. Ravana was a great astrologer. To make his son immortal, he commanded all the planets and constellations in such a position that would allow his son to be born the way he wanted. Because of Ravana's anger and power, all the planets and constellations feared him. All the planets were in the position as desired by Ravana at time of his son Meghanada's birth) and Absolute Invulnerability ("His body bears hundreds of welts caused when assaulted with Vishnu-disc for hundreds of times in wars with gods, and when assaulted for hundreds of times with the other assaults-missiles in other gruesome wars as well, and Shuurpanakha saw at such a Ravana... Fallen on the unbreakable armour of Ravana, which looked like a large cloud, those arrows could not cause any pain to him at that time.")
Weapon Mastery (The story of Atikaya is explained by Vibhishana in the Ramayana. Once while filled with rage, he tried to uproot the Chakravalgiri mountain. Shiva noticed this and hurled his trishula at him, but Atikaya was so powerful at that time that he caught the trident mid-air like a toy and started laughing), Invulnerability and Spatial Manipulation (Was virtually invulnerable within his armour Brahma Kavacha; he was only damaged after the wind god Vayu told Lakshmana his secret. Was also completely invincible with his armour. Caught Shiva's trident, the Trishula, a weapon that can destroy anything it touches, in mid air and laughed about it. "Lakshmana’s arrows was unable to afflict Atikaya due to his inviolable armour. This armour protected Atikaya from Lakshmana’s sharp arrows. Then, the furious Lakshmana showered forth hails of arrows on Atikaya, as a rainy cloud showers hails of down-pour. Reaching Atikaya, those arrows with the points of their shafts shattered on his armour, adorned with diamonds and instantly fell on the earth's surface.Seeing those arrows becoming unsuccessful, the highly famous Lakshmana the annihilator of enemy-warriors, showered forth arrows in thousands. Atikaya, that mighty demon, though deluged with a flood of arrows, was not agitated in battle because of the inviolability of his armour... Split him with a missile of Brahma. He cannot be killed by any other means. The mighty Atikaya, with that armour, cannot be destroyed by other missiles."), Gravity Manipulation ("Taking trees and mountain peaks, Kumuda, Dvivida, Mainda, Nila and Sharabha marched forwards quickly to attack him at once. Atikaya of great splendour, the foremost among those skilled in weaponry, chopped off their trees and crags with his arrows decked with gold. That strong and skilled Atikaya with a terrific body, struck all those monkeys, facing in front of him in battle with arrows fully made of iron. Those overthrown monkeys, injured with their blown out bodies, by the shower of Atikaya's arrows in that great battle, were unable to retaliate on him. That demon, who was arrogant of his youth, frightened that army of monkey-warriors, as an enraged lion frightens a herd of deers.") and Paralysis Inducement ("He is Atikaya, who paralyzed the thunderbolt of the intelligent Indra with his arrows. He struck down the noose of Varuna, the seizer of transgressors. This wise Ravana's son, who is strong and the foremost of demons took off the pride of celestials and ogres... He conquered the celestials and the ogres several times, destroyed Yakshas the supernatural beings and defended the demons.")
Chaos Manipulation, Invulnerability (To all men. Parvati relates how two brothers of the asura race sought to conquer the three worlds by subjecting themselves to severe penance and purification rituals so that no man or asura could destroy them. Shumbha and Nishumbha traveled to Pushkara, a sacred site, and remained there in prayer for ten thousand years. The creator deity Brahma saw the brothers' penance, and was pleased, granting them the boon they requested. Chanda and Munda, two lesser asuras in the service of Shumbha, encountered the goddess Parvati, and were overwhelmed by her beauty. They carried reports of this goddess to Shumbha, who sought to possess Parvati. Shumbha sent the asura Sugriva (asura) to court Parvati, but she rejected his advances. It was then decided by the asura brothers that if Parvati would not come willingly, they would have to abduct her. First, the asura Dhumralochana and his army of sixty-thousand asuras were sent to abduct Parvati)

He wanted to gain all the yogic perfections like aṇimā and laghimā, to be deathless, and to be the only king of the entire universe, including Brahmaloka".), Teleportation and Telepathy (He should have the Yogic feats of transferring consciousness to different planets in order to save people from the wrath of Hiranyakashipu.), Regeneration/Reactive Evolution/Accelerated Development (High-Godly regeneration - Hiranyakashipu would, with single blow of his mace, destroy thousands. No one was able to even touch his body & when someone could do it rarely his body healed instantaneously like a miracle. His Yogic powers were unparalleled, & why not for he sacrificed majority of his life to attain the same)

Or according to other people it is "Vatapi had the boon of transforming into any life form at will. While Ilvala had the power to bring back the dead. In order to kill the sages, both would take another form. Ilvala would assume the form of a holy man and Vatapi would transform himself into a goat." or "Now, Ilvala and Vatapi, who are great asuras, have these powers of illusion, by which they start devouring brahmanas. They invite brahmana rishis to their house . In those times, brahmanas used to eat meat and drink wine. So Vatapi used to convert himself into a ram, and he would be cut up, his meat would be prepared and served to the brahmanas, who would eat it. Ilvala has this power by which he can make any person appear in flesh and blood(embodied) in front of him, simply by his calling out to them. Even if the person is in Yama loka, he woud have to appear before Ilvala, if he calls his name. This is a siddhi that Ilvala possesses. So Ilvala calls out to Vatapi, and Vatapi comes out of the brahmana’s stomach by tearing it open, thus killing the brahmana. This gory episode happens many times and everybody is frightened of them.")
Darkness Manipulation (The illustrious Achyuta is without beginning and without end. He looked at those two drops of water. One of these was beautiful and radiant and looked like honey. On Narayana’s instructions, Madhu, based on tamas qualities, was generated from this. The other drop was hard, and Kaitabha, based on rajas qualities, was generated from this. With the qualities of tamas and rajas, these two superior ones advanced While Brahma looked on, they violently seized the Vedas. Having seized the eternal Vedas, the best among the danavas quickly entered the nether regions, inside the waters of the great ocean.), Invulnerability, Power Bestowal and Death Manipulation (According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana, Madhu and Kaitabha originated from Vishnu's earwax, and performed a long period of tapas devoted to the goddess Mahadevi, employing the Vāgbīja mantra. The goddess granted them the boon of death befalling them only with their consent, which was granted. The proud asuras then started attacking Brahma, and stole the Vedas, hiding themselves in Patala. Brahma sought Vishnu's help, and eulogised the deity in order to awaken him), Size Manipulation (The two asuras then fought against Vishnu, and were undefeated. Upon advice from Mahadevi, Vishnu employed deceit to destroy the two asuras. Vishnu praised the powers of the two asuras, and said that he would be pleased to grant them boons. Laughing, the boastful asuras, proud of their victories against Vishnu, said that they were willing to grant him boons instead. Vishnu cleverly asked Madhu and Kaitabha for the boon of slaying them. Defeated, the asuras requested Vishnu to be slain at any location except in the water, believing that they would still be invincible upon land. They were subsequently vanquished by Vishnu with his Sudarshana Chakra: Mahāviṣṇu instantly raised his thighs which were enlarged to a great extent over the water as solid earth seeing which the Asuras enlarged their bodies to the extent of a thousand yojanas. But Mahāviṣṇu enlarged his thighs further, caught hold of Madhu and Kaiṭabha, laid them on his thighs and cut off their heads with his discus), Creation (As the Bhagavata Purana has it, the demons Madhu and Kaitabha stole the Vedas from Lord Brahma and deposited them deep inside the waters of the primeval ocean. It was Lord Vishnu, in his manifestation as Hayagriva, killed them, and retrieved the Vedas. The bodies of Madhu and Kaitabha disintegrated into 2 times 6 — which is twelve pieces (two heads, two torsos, four arms, and four legs). These are considered to represent the twelve seismic plates of the Earth) as well as Reality Warping/Power Bestowal (According to another legend, Madhu and Kaitabha were two asuras who had become powerful enough to annihilate Brahma. However, Brahma spotted them, and begged the goddess Mahamaya for help. Vishnu then awoke, and the two conspiring asuras were killed. This led to Vishnu being offered the epithets Madhusudana - the killer of Madhu, and Kaitabhajit - the victor of Kaitabha. They were giving the ability to harm themselves to others. They could give boons to slay them) and Durability Negation (Vishnu killed them using Vaishnavastra according to Uttarakhanda and also gave Brahma the knowledge of creation. "This arrow is full of energy and you are scared because of that. Earlier, this belonged to the eternal god who is the creator of the worlds. The great-souled one created this great arrow to slay the two daityas, Madhu and Kaitabha. Only Vishnu knows about this arrow, which is filled with energy. Earlier, it was the embodied form of the great-souled Vishnu himself. You said that creation was my task and invested everything in me. O lord of the universe! Having taken up the burden invested on me, I worshipped you.")
Same powers as his father, Hiranyakashipu and he can nullify those powers through prayer and speech. Helps Narasimha kill his father who is completely immortal by bypassing the conditions of his boons. Reality Warping, Telepathy, Animal Manipulation and resistance to Poison Manipulation (Despite several warnings from his father Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada continued to worship Vishnu instead of the former. The child is successful in converting other students of the Asura clan into Vaishnavism by teaching them the Narayana mantra. His father then decided to commit filicide and poison Prahlada, but he survived. When the daitya soldiers attacked their prince with weapons, Prahlada informed them that their efforts were futile since Vishnu resided within them. The asura monarch then had the boy trampled by the aṣṭadiggajas, the eight elephants who bear the weight of the earth, but their tusks were broken to bits upon contact with him. He placed Prahlada in a room with venomous, dark snakes, and they made a bed for him with their bodies) as well as Immortality and Regeneration along with Type 3 Nonduality (Type 9 immortality and High-Godly Regeneration - It was Prahlada who asked Shukracharya to acquire the Mritasanjivani mantra from Shiva to save the asuras from the devas. After a long life, Prahlada attained Vaikuntha. Prahlada's great-grandson was the thousand-armed Banasura, who was humbled in battle by Krishna) and Empathic Manipulation/Conceptual Manipulation (According to the Vishnu Purana, his story being told purifies one of all their sins)
Death Manipulation and Invulnerability (Sumbha and Nisumbha’s immunity to man and deity. As long as they didn't kill each other. The brothers Sunda and Upasunda once performed severe austerities upon the Vindhya mountains. Finally, Brahma agreed to grant the brothers a boon, and they sought immortality. This boon was not granted by Brahma. The inseparable brothers chose the boon of being completely invulnerable, except that they could be killed by each other. Leaving the mountains, Sunda and Upasunda slaughtered a number of Brahmins, and threatened the existence of the Vedic religion. Brahma was stirred into action. He instructed Vishvakarma to produce before him the perfect courtesan, who created the beautiful apsara, Tilottama. This damsel was instructed to cause dissent between the brothers. Tilottama found Sunda and Upasunda in the countryside with their retinue, drinking, and celebrating their victories. Beholding Tilottama, they immediately fell to fighting over her, and ended up killing each other. Hence, order was established once more)
Power Nullification, Power Mimicry, Power Bestowal and Power Modification as well as Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Taraka performed penance to Brahma, and when the creator appeared, asked for two boons: One, that none shall be his equal in all of the three worlds, and two, that only a son of Shiva could slay him. This second desire was considered to be crafty on his part, since Shiva was a yogi and was unlikely to bear children; Tarakasura’s boon of bearing adamantine limbs that could destroy heaven and earth), Summoning (According to the Skanda Purana, Kartikeya (Skanda) was appointed as the commander of the gods, charged with his destiny of vanquishing the asura. The divinities offered a number of gifts to empower him. Taraka, the king of the daityas, summoned billions of asuras to defend his realm, his forces commanded by Kalanemi. The asuras gained the upper hand, the armies of the devas falling like trees to a forest fire. Indra was struck down. Hearing Kalanemi's contempt, Kartikeya and Krishna arrived to duel him, the latter wielding his great bow and raining arrows on the asura from atop Garuda. Kalanemi responded by swallowing Krishna and Garuda whole, after which the deity sliced the asura's belly open with the Sudarshana Chakra, the celestial weapon cutting down masses of daitya warriors), Time Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Chaos Manipulation, Madness Manipulation and Protection ("O Kumara, see the Lord of Daityas, who is like Kala (God of Death) at the close of a Yuga. This is that same (demon) by whom Śiva had been propitiated by means of terrible penance. It is he by whom Śakra and others had been transformed into monkeys for one hundred million years. It is he who could not be defeated by us despite our pile of all (superior) weapons in the course of the battle. This great Asura should not be viewed with contemptuous disregard. He is Taraka. This is your seventh day. Now it is mid-day. Slay him before sunset. Otherwise he cannot be killed."), resistance to Weapon Mastery and Weapon Manipulation plus Power Bestowal ("Thereupon various Devas rushed (against the Daitya) in the following manner: Janardana lifted up his discus and rushed speedily. Indra lifted up his thunderbolt. Yama raised his staff roaring loudly. The infuriated Dhaneśvara roared raising his iron club. Varuṇa roared with his noose held aloft. Vayu raised his terrible great goad. The Fire-god (Vahni) lifted up his Śakti of great refulgence. Nirṛti raised his sharp sword. The infuriated Rudras lifted up their tridents. Sadhya-devas raised their bows. Vasus lifted up iron bolts. Viśvedevas raised pestles and thrashing rods. The Moon and the Sun their refulgence, the Aśvinīdevas the medicinal herbs, the serpents the blazing poison and Himadri and other important ones lifted up the mountains.") and Durability Negation (Taraka proved to be equal to all of their prowess combined, roaring triumphantly. Krishna laughed scornfully, loudly, musing that had he known that Skanda would not slay a devotee of Rudra, the devas and he would not have seen such destruction. Assuming his form of Vishnu, he wrung his arms and swore to kill all the asuras, charging against them and killing a billion of them even as he ran. The earth shook and the devas grew terrified. The gandharva Siddha urged Vishnu to think about his actions that threatened the entire universe. Reverting to his form as Krishna, Skanda and he charged towards Taraka, upon which they witnessed a woman emerging out of the latter's head. The woman announced that she was Shakti, who had resided in the asura ever since his great penance, but would now forsake him because his adharma had out-balanced his dharma. Kartikeya seized the Shakti and pierced it against Taraka's heart, finally fulfilling his destiny even as the deities hailed his name)

Conquered rain in Vedic mythology), Fire Manipulation, Probability Manipulation and Illusion Manipulation (Via the Vajra. In Vedic times Indra was described in Rig Veda 6.30.4 as superior to any other god. Sayana in his commentary on Rig Veda 6.47.18 described Indra as assuming many forms, making Agni, Vishnu, and Rudra his illusory forms. Over a quarter of the 1,028 hymns of the Rigveda mention Indra, making him the most referred to deity. These hymns present a complex picture of Indra, but some aspects of Indra are often repeated)
Reality Warping, Environmental Destruction, Teleportation (The Shiva Purana features the rakshasi Dārukā and her husband, a rakshasa named Dāruka, who terrorised the forest named after them, called the Darukavana. Dārukā is stated to have acquired a boon from the goddess Parvati, upon which she grew arrogant and reckless. The inhabitants of the forest sought the assistance of the sage Aurva, who declared that any rakshasa who attacked them further upon the earth would perish. The devas, led by Indra, started to wage war on the beings. To save the race from extermination, Dārukā suggested that they move to an island beneath the ocean. The forest would follow with them owing to her boon, and they would not be further attacked. Now safe, the beings started to harass people who travelled upon the boats above and imprisoned them. One of the prisoners was a Shaiva devotee named Supriya. He taught the other prisoners the Panchakshara mantra of Shiva. The rakshasa Dāruka attempted to kill Supriya. Shiva appeared to rescue his devotee, slaying Dāruka with the Pashupatastra. When his wife, Dārukā, prayed to Parvati for mercy, the goddess urged her consort to spare her life. Hearing her plea, Shiva allowed her and the other rakshasas to reside in the forest. Shiva assumed the form of a Jyotirlinga with the name Nageshvara in the site, while the goddess Parvati came to be venerated as Nageshvari. In another version, in the realm of the netherworlds, there resided a demoness named Daruka who engaged in deep penance to appease the powerful and eternal Goddess Adi Shakti. Reciting the sacred mantra "Om Adi Shakti aye Namo Namah," Daruka's devotion caught the attention of Goddess Adi Shakti, who appeared before her. Impressed by Daruka's penance, the benevolent goddess granted her a boon. Daruka humbly requested the protection of her husband and the demon clan, along with a source of sustenance. In response, Goddess Adi Shakti bestowed her blessings upon Daruka, creating a lush forest where they could find solace and security. She assured Daruka that she, her husband, and their demon clan would be safeguarded. With her divine mission accomplished, Goddess Adi Shakti vanished from sight. However, upon learning of the boon and the protection granted by Goddess Adi Shakti, Daruka's husband, Daruk, harboured malevolent intentions. Envisioning an opportunity to feast upon the beings of Earth, including humans, animals, and plants, he urged Daruka to transport their forest to the mortal realm. Succumbing to his desires, Daruka complied. Yet, their wicked actions did not go unnoticed. A wise sage, observing their malevolence, invoked a curse upon Daruk, Daruka, and the entire demon clan. The curse dictated that any attempt to harm gods or sages would lead to their ultimate demise. Lord Shiva, too, expressed his disapproval and cursed the unrighteous demons, decreeing that they would meet their end if they engaged in wrongful deeds.)
Life Manipulation (Jarasandha's father, King Brihadratha, was married to the twin daughters of the king of Kashi. Brihadratha loved both his wives equally but had no sons. The sage Chandakaushika visited his kingdom and gave fruit to the king as a boon. The king divided the fruit equally between both of his wives. Soon, both wives became pregnant and gave birth to two halves of a human body. These two lifeless halves were very horrifying to view, so Brihadratha ordered to be thrown in the forest. An asuri named Jara found the two halves and picked up one with her right hand, one with her left, holding each piece in her palm. When she brought both of her palms together, the two pieces joined, becoming a living child. The child cried loudly, which caused Jara to panic. Not having the heart to eat a living child, Jara took the baby to the king and explained to him all that had happened. The father was overjoyed to see his son, and named the baby "Jarasandha" in honor of Jara the Asuri)
Meta Combat (As Jarasandha was a powerful warrior, it was necessary for the Pandavas to eliminate him. Krishna, Bhima, and Arjuna disguised as brahmins traveled to Magadha and met Jarasandha. After a formal meeting, Jarasandha enquired about their intentions. Krishna, Bhima, and Arjuna revealed their actual identities. Krishna then challenged Jarasandha for a duel and gave him the freedom to choose any one belligerent. Jarasandha selected Bhima for a duel. Both Bhima and Jarasandha were accomplished wrestlers. The duel continued for several days and neither of them was willing to give up. After a long battle, Jarasandha grew tired. Krishna then hinted Bhima that when fatigued, a person might die if pressed too hard. Bhima understood Krishna's hint, lifted Jarasandha in the air and pressed his knee against Jarasandha's backbone, killing him instantly)Superhuman Physical Characteristics (The demon grabbed Rama in his right arm and Lakshmana in his left. Finding themselves helpless in Kabandha's clutches, Lakshmana appeals to Rama to escape and find Sita, leaving him behind as a sacrifice to the demon), Sound Manipulation (The Ramayana narrates that Kabandha was born as a gandharva (celestial musician) named Vishvavasu. He was the son of the Gandharva Sri Vishvavasu or Sri and was also known as Danu (दनु). Vishvavasu performed penance and got the boon of immortality from the creator-god Brahma. He became arrogant due to his boon and attacked Indra, the god-king of heaven. Indra used his celestial weapon the Vajra (thunderbolt) and drove Vishvavasu's head and thighs into his body. Vishvavasu pleaded that he be given a way to find and eat food. Upon Vishvavasu's beseeching, Indra gave him two long arms and a mouth on his belly. Indra also decreed that Kabandha would regain his original form when Rama severs his arms), Empathic Manipulation (The Adhyatma Ramayana tells that Kabandha (the name Vishvavasu is not used) was a Gandharva chief, who was blessed by Brahma with immortality. He was "drunk with the wine of youth and beauty" and used to roam the universe's enchanting beautiful maidens. Once, he laughed at the sage Ashtavakra ("one who was eight deformities"), who cursed him to become a Rakshasa, though the sage assured him that Rama would free him of the curse. Still arrogant, Kabandha once chased Indra. The rest of the Indra episode mirrors the Ramayana telling. The Mahabharata tells that Kabandha was a Gandharva named Vishvavasu in his previous life and was cursed by Brahma to be born "from a Rakshasa womb". The Mahavira-Charita calls Kabandha's real form Danu, son of Sri. The Bhattikavya does not explicitly name Kabandha. He is introduced as "a dreadful demon that was always hungry and being endowed with long arms". Later, he is identified as Sri's son, who was cursed by an ascetic. The Ramacharitamanas tells that Kabandha was cursed by the sage Durvasa, who is known for his hot temper in Hindu mythology), Electricity Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Life Manipulation (The Mahabharata describes him thus: Kabandha was "as big as a mountain, dark as a black cloud, with pointed hairs all over his body and looked fierce with a voice as loud as thunder. He had an eye on his stomach, round and yellow, emitting a glare like a fire-flame. Looking wicked he thrust his big tongue out of his huge mouth licking the sides." The Ramayana presents a similar description of Kabandha. Kabandha had a broad chest and was without a head or neck. He had only one eye on his chest and a mouth on his belly. He used his long arms to draw his prey closer. Kabandha is often depicted as a tree. Since Vishvavasu now did not have a head, but just two arms and a mouth on his stomach, he came to be known as the Rakshasa (demon) Kabandha, the "headless torso". The word Kabandha is often used to describe a large big-bellied barrel or a headless trunk, shaped like a barrel, which retains its vitality. Adhyatma Ramayana tells us that Kabandha was a fierce cannibal and his arms were eight miles long. His huge face – which had no eyes or ears – was at his chest. He had no head or legs) and Probability Manipulation and Supernatural Luck (The Ramayana narrates: the brothers burnt Kabandha's corpse on a funeral pyre. As the pyre was lit, Kabandha's demon form melted and from the flames Vishvavasu rose up in the air in his celestial form, dressed in spotless garments and finery as a chariot from heaven appears to get him. Vishvavasu told the brothers that to fight calamity there are six ways, one of which to nurture a friendship with someone, who is in trouble. He advised the brothers to find the monkey (vanara) king Sugriva, who would guide them in the quest for Sita. Vishvavasu informed Rama that Sugriva was driven out of his kingdom by his own brother Vali and that Rama should help Sugriva regain his kingdom. The deposed Sugriva dwelt at Rsyamukha hill. Vishvavasu then described in detail the route to Rsyamukha hill. He advised Rama to travel in the western direction till he reached the Pampa lake in the region called Matangavana where sage Matanga's hermitage once stood. Ram would meet vanaras at this lake and also sage Matanga's aged female disciple Shabari, who is waiting for him and after Rama's visit, would ascend to heaven. To east of Matangavana is the Rsyamukha hill, which has an arduous path up. Kabandha revealed that one who ascends to the top of this hill, his dreams come true. Kabandha also assured Rama that his sorrows would end after reaching this hill, where Sugriva dwelt in a cave on the side on the hill. Kabandha then disappears. The demon urges Rama to believe him as he is telling the truth. At last, the demon transforms into a radiant divine being as he was telling the truth and plunges into the sky and he is also a cursed Gandharva)
Matter Manipulation and resistance to Death Manipulation (Vibhishana narrated that Kumbhakarna had been born with immense strength, having subdued both Indra and Yama, striking the former in the chest with the broken tusk of Airavata. At the bequest of Indra, Brahma cursed the rakshasa to "sleep like he is dead". On Ravana's request, he commuted the curse to have the rakshasa sleep for six months at a time, and wake up for exactly one day to wreak havoc and devour to his heart's content. Kumbhakarna is portrayed as a loyal, powerful, and fearless character who fought to defend his brother and land out of obligation and affection. He had an grand appetite and slept for six months at a time), Illusion Manipulation and Sleep Manipulation (When Kumbhakarna asked for his boon, his tongue was tied by the goddess Saraswati, who acted on Indra's request. Instead of asking for Indrāsana (the throne of Indra), he asked for Nidrāsana (a bed for sleeping). It is also said that he intended to ask for Nirdevatvam (annihilation of the devas) and instead asked for Nidravatvam (sleep). His request was instantly granted. However, his brother Ravana requested Brahma to undo this curse as a boon and Brahma reduced it to sleeping for six months, after which he would sleep again as soon as his appetite was satisfied), Superhuman Physical Characteristics and Supernatural Willpower (In defense of his kingdom, Ravana charged into battle and was humiliated by Rama and his army after underestimating his enemy. He decided he needed the help of his brother Kumbhakarna, who woke up only after 1,000 elephants walked over him. In the Mahabharata he beat up Ghatotkacha, the same being who could create countless soldiers) and Size Manipulation (Lakshmana and Kumbhakarna dueled for a long period, leaving both of them exhausted. In his battle against Rama, Kumbhakarna had one arm cut off by the Vayuastra and the other mutilated by the Indrastra. Still, he raged towards Rama, opening his mouth to swallow him whole, and was met with a volley of arrows. In the Kamba Ramayanam, Kumbhakarna acknowledges the divinity of Rama, but informs him of his dharma to fight for his brother, and only urges the prince to keep Vibhishana safe from harm. With his desire granted, he charged against Rama with his feet severed by crescent arrows. He was slain only when the Indrastra was deployed by Rama. Kumbakarna's head was decapitated, and is described to have smashed several buildings and fortifications before descending towards the sea. When Ravana heard of his brother's death, he fainted and later proclaimed that he was doomed)
Conceptual Manipulation and Superhuman Physical Characteristics (According to the Ramayana, Lankini was once the guardian of the abode of Brahma. As she guarded the home of the creator, Brahma, she became arrogant and prideful about her position. She treated others in the palace with contempt due to which she was cursed by Brahma to guard the city of demons forever. Lankini realised her mistake and begged for forgiveness. However, it was not possible for Brahma to take back the curse, and instead gave her a boon that she would be freed of the curse only when a vanara defeated her in combat, and thus bring to end the age of the demons) and finally Omnipotence, Immortality, Regeneration along with Type 3 Nonduality (Type 9 immortality and High-Godly Regeneration - After being relieved attained Vaikuntha
Dream Manipulation, Fate Manipulation and Causality Manipulation (In the Ramayana, Trijata appears as a wise old rakshasi, who dreams of Ravana's destruction and the victory of Rama, the husband of Sita who wages war against Ravana to rescue Sita. Trijata accompanies Sita on a survey of the battlefield of the war between Rama and Ravana, and reassures Sita of Rama's well-being when Sita sees her husband unconscious and presumes him dead. In later Ramayana adaptations, Trijata becomes the daughter of Vibhishana, the brother of Ravana who sides with Rama. She plays a much greater role in later versions, especially Southeast Asian ones), Empathic Manipulation (Barring a few exceptions where Trijata is cast as Ravana's agent, she is generally portrayed as a friend and loyal companion of Sita in her adversity. On numerous occasions, she offers solace to Sita and brings news from the outside world; she also dissuades Sita from committing suicide. After Rama's victory and Ravana's death, Trijata is richly rewarded by Sita and Rama. While some Ramayana adaptations mention her being a devotee of Rama, Southeast Asian versions often depict her as the wife of Rama's vanara general Hanuman, whom she bears a son. She is worshipped as a local goddess in Varanasi and Ujjain; both in India), Precognition (As a true master of dream manipulation. The aged Trijata intervenes and narrates a prophetic dream that predicts Ravana's doom and Rama's victory), Reality Warping (In her dream, Trijata sees Rama and his brother Lakshmana riding the celestial elephant Airavata toward Sita. Rama takes Sita in his lap and rises high in the sky, allowing Sita to touch the Sun and the Moon. Then the trio ride to Lanka and get into the Pushpaka Vimana (aerial chariot of Ravana) to fly towards the north, while Ravana, drenched in oil and with a red complexion, lies on the ground. Ravana then heads south on a donkey and falls in a pit of dung. A black woman in a red saree, drags him to the south. Other members of Ravana's family, like his brother Kumbhakarna and son Indrajit, face similar fates. Ravana's brother Vibishana is seen in regal white garments, riding a four tusked elephant near the Pushpaka Vimana. The city of Lanka drowns in the ocean and a vanara) messenger of Rama burns the city. Trijata advises the rakshasis to take refuge in Sita and apologise to her; in turn, Sita promises that if Trijata's dream materialises, she will protect her rakshasi guards. The second incident is found in the sixth book, Yuddha Kanda. Rama and his brother Lakshmana come with a vanara army to rescue Sita from the clutches of the demon-king. On the first day of war, Ravana's son Indrajit binds the brothers with the weapon Nagapasha (serpent-noose) and the brothers lose consciousness. Ravana sends Sita with Trijata to see the battlefield. Thinking her husband is dead, Sita laments, but is reassured by Trijata that the brothers are still alive. Trijata expresses her love for Sita and tells her that the captive's "moral character and gentle nature" have compelled her to love her), Wish Granting and Probability Manipulation (A temple dedicated to Trijata (called Tirjata in this region) is situated near the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the most prominent temple in Varanasi. As per local lore, Trijata wanted to accompany Sita to Ayodhya, but Sita said that she would not be allowed in Ayodhya as she was a demoness. Sita suggested her to visit Varanasi and attain moksha (emancipation) and blessed her to be worshipped as a goddess. Trijata enjoys daily worship as a local goddess. Flowers and green vegetables are offered to appease her. Women - who worship at her shrine for seven consecutive Wednesdays - are believed to be blessed with progeny and with the goddess' protective glaze on their family. Many devotees flock the shrine on Kartik Poornima, the last day of the Hindu month of Kartik and its next day, the first day of Margashirsha month. It is believed that the goddess will fulfil the wishes of all who worship at her shrine, after paying obeisance at Kashi Vishwanath Temple on Kartik Poornima. On the first day of Margashirsha, worshippers who had observed a vrata (fast) in the previous month of Kartik conclude the vrata by bathing in the Ganges at the Dashashwamedh Ghat in the name of Trijata. Local lore holds that Rama granted a boon to Trijata: those who do not bathe in her honour after observing the vrata will lose all merit (punya) – gained from the fast – to her))
Immortality (Type 9) and resistance to Illusion Manipulation (Vibhishana freely divulged many secrets that became key to the success of Rama's attack, including revealing the secret path to the temple of Nikumbala, the family deity of the Pulastya clan. In the climactic battle between Rama and Ravana, when Rama was unable to kill Ravana, he revealed the secret of Ravana's invulnerability to Rama. He told Rama that Ravana has stored the nectar of immortality in his belly and it is necessary to dry it. With this knowledge, Rama was finally able to kill Ravana. When Rama was about to leave Ayodhya at the end of his reign, he assumed his true form of Vishnu, ordering Vibhishana to stay on earth and serve the people and guide them to the path of truth and dharma. Hence, Vibhishana is considered one of the eight immortals, the Chiranjivis. Vishnu also ordered Vibhishana to pray to the family deity of Solar dynasty, Ranganatha) and Omniscience (is enlightened by his boon)
Immunity to Weapon Mastery, Weapon Creation, Weapon Manipulation, Reality Warping, Status Effect Inducement, Statistics Reduction and Death Manipulation (The monster reveals that he has a boon from Brahma which makes him invincible to weapons. So the brothers kill the rakshasa by first breaking his arms, then burying him alive in a grave) and Omnipotence/Teleportation/Immortality (Type 5/9 via liberation. When the monsters arms are broken, he begins to praise the brothers for liberating him: he had, in a previous life, been a celestial being named Tumburu, and had been cursed by Kubera to live as a fearsome monster until he be killed by Rama. The brothers bury him, and he apparently goes back to his former celestial abode)

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Supernatural Willpower/Supernatural Luck, Weather Manipulation (Uttanka is one of the few persons described to have seen the Vishvarupa (universal form) of the god Krishna. Krishna blessed Uttanka with a boon that would quench his thirst whenever he remembered him. From then on, the rare clouds that bring showers in the desert have been called "Uttanka's clouds")
Curse Manipulation, Reality Warping, Mind Manipulation, Power Absorption, Power Modification and Empathic Manipulation (As per Swaminarayan Hinduism, Swaminarayan, who was a saint, was born because Narayana was cursed by Durvasa. The story narrates that after Krishna’s demise, Uddhava went to Badrinath, where Nara-Narayana’s discourses were heard by various sages. There, Durvasa arrived and cursed the entire assembly held on Mount Kailash as no one welcomed him. Nara-Narayana’s parents, Dharma and Bhakti, pacified Durvasa, who then reduced his curse. He said that Narayana would be born as their son to relieve them all from the clutches of evil.), Invulnerability, Memory Manipulation and complete Power Nullification as well as Existence Erasure (Casually able to grant Krishna invulnerability based on how much of a liquid he places on certain body parts plus being able to curse Indra to lose all powers, plus forcing Saraswati to become human, meaning he could curse Vishnu with as much ease as he gave Krishna the boon of invulnerability, meaning he could do the same to himself, as well as Rukmini as well as Shakuntala who the sage cursed with memory loss as well as his own wife, Kandali who was turned into a heap of dust for simply "excessive quarreling with him" and Bhanumata. Bhanumati was the daughter of Banu, the then-leader of the Yadavas. Bhanumati provoked Durvasa while playing in Raivata’s garden, and in response Durvasa cursed her. She, later in life, was kidnapped by Danava Nikumbha. However, Durvasa after being pacified explained that no harm would come to Bhanumati and that she would be saved and marry the Pandava Sahadeva.), Death Manipulation, Life Manipulation (Durvasa cursed Indra that he would be cast down from his position as the king of the devas they way the garland was callously cast down. This curse took effect and soon, Indra along with the devas lost their youthfulness and strength. Seizing this opportunity, the asuras; led by Mahabali; waged war against them. The distraught devas approached Lord Brahma for help. He directed them to Lord Vishnu, who advised them to declare a truce with the asuras and request their help in sagara manthana, since it would take all of devas and all of the asuras to churn the ocean), Soul Manipulation (In the Uttara Kanda: "While Rama and Kala were thus conversing with one another, the great ascetic Durvasa arrived at the gate for seeing Rama and approaching Lakshmana said: O Saumitri, do thou soon take me to Rama; my time goes away, so do thou take me first." Hearing the words of the ascetic, Lakshmana, the slayer of enemies worshipping the feet of that high souled one, said "O illustrious Sir, kindly mention thy business. What is thy object ?Order me what I am to do. Rama is engaged in some business so kindly wait here for some time." Hearing those words that foremost of Rishis, Durvasa, impatient with rage, said with blood red eyes: O Saumitri, if dost thou not go even this very moment and communicate unto Rama my arrival, I shall impricate thee, Rama, Bharata, Satrughna, your sons and grand sons. I shall curse also thy kingdom and cities. I cannot any longer restrain my growing fire." Hearing those dreadful and resolute words of the Rishi, Lakshmana thought within himself: My own destruction is far more desirable than that of all." Having thus resolved Lakshmana approached Rama and communicated unto him the intelligence. Heaing the words of Lakshmana and having bade adieu, unto Kala, Rama soon came out and saw Atri s son. And having saluted that great and powerful ascetic he with folded hands, said "What is thine business." Hearing the words of Rama, the highly powerful Durvasa, the foremost of Munis, said. "Hear, O Rama fond of virtue. For a thousand years I have carried on the vow of fasting. It has terminated to day, so do thou give me food as much as possible." Hearing those words Rama was greatly delighted and gave proper food unto that ascetic. And feasting on that nectar like sweet food, Durvasa, the foremost of Rishis, thanked Rama and repaired to his own hermitage. Thereupon remembering the words of Kala, Rama was greatly sorry."), Creation/Summoning (In section 9, part 4 of the Srimad Bhagavatam: "O best of the Kuru dynasty, after he drank some water, King Ambarīṣa, meditating upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead within his heart, waited for the return of the great mystic Durvāsā Muni. After executing the ritualistic ceremonies to be performed at noon, Durvāsā returned from the bank of the Yamunā. The King received him well, offering all respects, but Durvāsā Muni, by his mystic power, could understand that King Ambarīṣa had drunk water without his permission. Still hungry, Durvāsā Muni, his body trembling, his face curved and his eyebrows crooked in a frown, angrily spoke as follows to King Ambarīṣa, who stood before him with folded hands. "Alas, just see the behavior of this cruel man! He is not a devotee of Lord Viṣṇu. Being proud of his material opulence and his position, he considers himself God. Just see how he has transgressed the laws of religion. Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, you have invited me to eat as a guest, but instead of feeding me, you yourself have eaten first. Because of your misbehavior, I shall show you something to punish you." As Durvāsā Muni said this, his face became red with anger. Uprooting a bunch of hair from his head, he created a demon resembling the blazing fire of devastation to punish Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. Taking a trident in his hand and making the surface of the earth tremble with his footsteps, that blazing creature came before Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. But the King, upon seeing him, was not at all disturbed and did not move even slightly from his position. As fire in the forest immediately burns to ashes an angry snake, so, by the previous order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, His disc, the Sudarśana cakra, immediately burnt to ashes the created demon to protect the Lord’s devotee. Upon seeing that his own attempt had failed and that the Sudarśana cakra was moving toward him, Durvāsā Muni became very frightened and began to run in all directions to save his life."), Fate Manipulation and Causality Manipulation (Sage Durvasa is an example of correct curses, which through outwardly unfavorable events stimulate the spiritual growth of a person. People who were not ready for intense changes scattered in fear when the Rishis appeared, and only the strong in spirit invited him to their place. Durvasa is the personification of the energy leading to spiritual growth through overcoming external difficulties, which are potentially present in each of us and is waiting for the signal to awaken.), Space-Time Manipulation (Once all the apsaras asked sage Narada, to decide who was best among them. At that time Narada said that whoever could distract sage Durvasa from his tapas, she should be the best. As Durvasa is well known for his anger and ill-temper, none of the apsaras were willing to take up this challenge. Vapu, one of the aspsaras took up this challenge and set off to distract Durvasa. While Durvasa was meditating, Vapu started singing like a koyal (cuckoo) from a far distance. Durvasa got up to find out who the singer was and was surprised to see Vapu singing. True to his nature, he immediately cursed her that she would be born as a bird; Punjikasthala was a very beautiful apsara. She was very proud of her beauty. Once when Durvasa came to visit Indra, she laughed at him because he was not good-looking. The infuriated sage cursed her to be born as a monkey on earth. When she pleaded for mercy, Durvasa modified the curse and said that she would be the wife of a monkey king and would give birth to a divine child. She was then born as a monkey princess, Anjana, daughter of sage Gautama and Ahalya; she gave birth to Hanuman), Conceptual Manipulation (Cursed Shiva to make it impossible for him to marry in his present form. True to the curse, on the marriage day, the bride’s family got frightened looking at uncivilized, dirty and scary Shiva’s ganas. and many more things (via cursing)
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Superhuman Precision, Reality Warping, Conceptual Manipulation and Durability Negation (Once, a group of sages were performing a sacrifice (yagna) on the banks of the Saraswati River. A dispute arose as to who was the most superior from the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). Some of them believed Vishnu to be the superior one, while others supported Brahma or Shiva. To settle the matter, they sent Bhrigu to go find out the truth. Bhrigu first went to Satyaloka, Brahma’s abode. There, he tested his father Brahma’s humility. When he entered the court, Bhrigu did not bow down, nor did he offer any prayers. Brahma was offended by Bhrigu’s lack of respect and became angry. Bhrigu then arrived at Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva. Shiva rose to his feet to embrace his friend, but Bhrigu stepped back and said, “You are adharmic. Don’t touch me.” Shiva was enraged. He picked up his trident, ready to end Bhrigu’s life. But fortunately, Parvati was able to pacify her husband Shiva.) as well as Curse Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation and Power Nullification, Soul Manipulation and Life Manipulation/Death Manipulation (Lastly, Bhrigu went to Vaikuntha and saw Vishnu sleeping on his wife Lakshmi’s lap. Bhrigu kicked Vishnu in the chest. With a startle, both Vishnu and Lakshmi woke up. Bhrigu expected Vishnu to do the same as the others: feel insulted. But instead, Vishnu said, “Welcome, great Brahmin. Please forgive us for not having noticed your arrival. I am blessed to have your footprint on my chest.” Bhrigu was amazed. His eyed teared up as he bowed to Vishnu with devotion. Bhrigu then returned to other sages and told them about his findings. The sages concluded that Vishnu is the greatest of the Trimurti. This story is in the Matsya Purana, Part 1, Chapter 47 The Devas and Asuras are perennial enemies. They are always fighting. Once, in the midst of a war between the Devas and the Asuras, the Asuras had been completely routed. Shukracharya, the preceptor of the Asuras, decided to do penance to acquire powerful boons from Lord Shiva. Shukra planned to use these boons to defeat the Devas once and for all. Meanwhile, with Shukracharya away, the Asuras were even more vulnerable to attacks from the Devas. So the Asuras went to Bhrigu’s ashram for refuge and lived under the protection of Puloma, Bhrigu’s wife. The Devas once again attacked the Asuras. However, the Devas underestimated Puloma’s strength. Through intense penance, Puloma had gathered immense powers. Using these yogic powers, Puloma defeated Indra. Seeing their king helpless and trapped under the effect of Puloma’s spells, the Devas fled. They went to Vishnu for help. Vishnu knew that Puloma’s capabilities were unsurpassed. There was only one way to rescue Indra: he would have to kill Puloma. So Vishnu went to the hermitage and using his Sudarshan Chakra, severed Puloma’s head from her body. Bhrigu was so devastated when he heard of his wife’s murder that he immediately cursed Vishnu. Bhrigu curses Vishnu with "“You have committed a grave sin by killing a woman. I curse you that you will be born several times on Earth among men!”) and Resurrection (Bhrigu then muttered some incantations and connected his wife’s head with her body. After sprinkling some water on her, the corpse miraculously came back to life. Puloma was reborn! But this incident is very important in Hindu mythology: because of Bhrigu’s curse, Vishnu was born on Earth repeatedly whenever there was evil on Earth. This led to avatars of Rama, Krishna, Parshuram, and countless others.)
Death Manipulation (Vasishtha's birth story is retold in many later Hindu scriptures. The Puranas state that he has three births. In the first, he is a manasaputra (mind-born son) created by the god Brahma. After the destruction of the Daksha Yajna, Vasishtha is killed, but is recreated by Brahma. Vasishtha became the royal guru of Nimi, a king. However, Nimi forgot to invite Vasishtha in a yajna and in rage, Vasishtha cursed Nimi to die soon. Nimi responded by offering him with the same curse. Frightened, Vashishtha ran towards his father, Brahma. Brahma suggested him to emerge in Varuna and Mitra. When Urvashi was seen by Varuna and Mitra, Vasishtha reemerged from them), Summoning (When he was a kshatriya he wanted to take away the Kamdhenu cow of Maharishi Vasisth , which the latter refused. The Kamdhenu cow gave rise to many soldiers which defeated the army of Vishwamitra and forced him to retreat.), Omniscience and Weapon Mastery as well as Power Nullification and enhanced Death Manipulation as well as Energy Projection (Then he performed a tough penance and impressed Mahadeva , and obtained the knowledge of hurling and withdrawing all the weapons present in the Universe. Then he again went to avenge his defeat at the hands of Maharishi Vasistha but he was defeated again by him as Maharishi Vasistha managed to neutralize all his weapons using his Brahmadanda.), Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Supernatural Willpower (After cursing Rambha, Vishvamitra goes to the highest mountain of Himalayas to perform an even more severe tapasya for over 1000 years. He ceases to eat and reduces his breathing to a bare minimum.), Reality Warping (He threatened to make a parallel universe. All the Gods including Devraj Indra were shocked and helpless. Then at the request of Brahma Deva , he stopped.), Higher-Dimensional Existence, Beyond-Dimensional Existence, Dimensional Manipulation, Dimensional Travel and Teleportation (When a proud King Trisanku asked his Guru Vashista to send him to heaven in his own body, guru responded that the body cannot ascend to heaven. King Trisanku then asked Vashista's hundred sons to send him to heaven. The sons, believing that Trisanku should not come to them after their father had refused, took outrage and cursed Trisanku to be a Chandala. Trisanku was transformed into a person with body smeared of ash, clothed in black and wearing iron jewelry. Unrecognizable to his subjects, he was driven out of the kingdom. In his exile, Trisanku came across the sage Vishvamitra, who agreed to help him. Vishvamitra organized a great sacrifice and ritual propitiating the Devas, pleading that they accept Trisanku into heaven. Not one Deva responded. Angered, Vishvamitra used his yogic powers and ordered Trisanku to rise to heaven. Miraculously, Trisanku rose into the sky until he reached heaven, where he was pushed back down by Indra.) and Creation (Vishwamitra at full power with penance. Vishvamitra’s powers at their peak being able to make an entire universe plus Brahma and the other Trimurti where the latter can create a new heaven and turn a being into a constellation before losing his spiritual gifts, which means Vasistha can do these feats with ease - Enraged even more by this, Vishvamitra commenced the creation of another universe (including another Brahma) for Trisanku. He had only completed the Universe when Brihaspati ordered him to stop. Trisanku, however, did not fully transcend through Trisanku Svarga created for him. He remained fixed and upside-down in the sky and was transformed into a constellation, which is now known as Crux. In the process of forming a new universe, Vishvamitra used up all the tapas he had gained from his austerities.), Immortality (Type 9) and Transduality (Type 3 - तपसा अमृतम् उपैति – “Through penance, one attains immortality.”), resistance to Empathic Manipulation (Resisted Menaka and he should be able to resist Mohini, the female form of Vishnu) and Precognition (He can see the past, present and future)
Immortality and resistance to Death Manipulation, Nonduality (Mahabali’s immortality where he survived Heaven and the netherworld. Hell in Hindu texts is a place where death is assured)
Forcefield Creation, Sleep Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement and Illusion Manipulation (Kavyamatha (aka Khyati, Usanas) was the wife of sage Bhrigu; Shukra, the guru of the asuras is their son. Once, asuras fought a war against devas and were severely beaten. Since it was becoming increasingly difficult for asuras to defeat devas in any battle, their guru Shukra went away to perform penance to Lord Shiva, to obtain the Mrita Sanjeevani mantra that was capable of bringing back the dead to life. Meanwhile, Shukra asked the asuras to take refuge at his father, sage Bhrigu’s ashram. Since the sage had left to perform penance, Kavyamatha, offered shelter and protection to the asuras. Devas led by Indra used this opportunity to attack the unarmed asuras. Kavyamatha used her yogic powers to immobilize Indra to protect the asuras. Frightened by this adverse development devas approached Lord Vishnu. Vishnu, along with other devas, went to confront the asuras in the hermitage. When Kavyamatha saw them, she was enraged and wanted to burn them down to ashes. Vishnu decided to kill Kavyamatha; he used his Sudarshana Chakra on her and cut her head. When Bhrighu returned to his ashram, he resurrected Kavyamatha by sprinkling holy water from his kamandala. Kavyamatha woke as if from a deep sleep! As per another version, Shukra, who was blessed by Lord Shiva, with Mrita Sanjeevani mantra, that had the power to bring back a dead person to life, used his power to bring her back to life. Shukra cursed Vishnu for good measure, for his sin of woman-slaughter, to be born on earth countless times and consequently suffer all the attendant consequences of human life. He also banned worship of Vishnu in asura loka, and he pledged to fight the devas and help asuras, as a measure of revenge of Vishnu’s heinous deed.)
Immortality (Type 9), Nonduality (Type 2) and Invulnerability (When the deities revealed their doubts about the likelihood of any ascetic donating his body, Vishnu directed them to approach the rishi Dadhichi. When approached by the deities, Dadhichi gladly gave up his bones for the cause of the good, stating that it would be better for his bones to help them attain victory than to rot in the ground. The devas collected the bones and Indra crafted the Vajrayudha from them.) and Transmutation/Supernatural Willpower/Durability Negation/Power Nullification/Reality Warping/Weapon Creation/Creation/Summoning/Sleep Manipulation (Dadhichi’s gifts of indestructible bones and a body, immortality and freedom from bad things given by Shiva which gives immunity to every weapon, presumably excluding the Pashupatastra. He is above Atikaya since his bones are what made the Vajra and that “only weapons made from him could damage any of the Asura” which includes any Asura above and below him without much effort. Given the fact that he only dies after willingly killing himself and that he drank each of the Astra after transmuting them into such means he could beat everyone on this list excluding Kavyamata since her paralysis would freeze him in place and thus not affect his bones since he’ll be put to sleep)
Time Manipulation, Time Stop, Time Travel, Acausality (Type 4; Kalanemi is a compound word made up of 'Kala', which means "time", and 'nemi', which means "the felly of a wheel or a portion". It represents the time segment of the wheel of time that denotes "the afternoon leading to sunset". 'Kala' also means "black", perceived to be the asura Kalanemi, who represents the period of darkness that "increases as the day move toward night and as the Dvapara Yuga moves towards the Kali Yuga."), Fire Manipulation, Weapon Mastery (He breathed flames from his mouth, and launched a number of divine missiles on his foes) and Earth Manipulation (On a planetary scale. When the asura smashed Garuda's head with his mace, Vishnu retaliated by employing the Sudarshana Chakra to chop all of the former's arms, causing his lifeless form to shake the earth upon its collapse.) as well as Invulnerability/Immortality (Type 9 - To all beings but Vishnu - The devas were then advised by Narada to seek the help of Vishnu, as only he could kill Kalanemi, who had immense powers acquired by meditation)
Paralysis Inducement, Sleep Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation, Statistics Reduction, Fire Manipulation and Death Manipulation and resistance of Invulnerability/Immortality (Type 5 and 9)/Regeneration (High-Godly)/Nonduality (Type 2/3 - Via his boon. Once, in a battle, the deities were defeated by the demons. Tormented by arrows, they went to king Muchukunda and sought his help. King Muchukunda agreed to help them and fought against the demons for a long time. Since the deities did not have an able commander, hence king Muchukunda had to protect them against the demon onslaught, until the deities got an able commander like Kartikeya, the son of Lord Shiva. Then Indra said to the king Muchukunda: "O king, we, the deities are indebted to you for the help and protection which you have been giving us, by sacrificing your own family life. Here in the heaven, one year equals three hundred and sixty years of the earth. Since, it has been a long time, so there is not any sign of your kingdom and your family because it has been destroyed. We are happy and pleased with you, so ask for any boon except salvation because salvation is beyond our capacities". Muchkunda asks Indra for a boon to sleep. While fighting on the side of the deities, king Muchukunda did not get an opportunity to sleep even for a moment. Now, since his responsibilities were over, overcome by tiredness, he was feeling very sleepy. So, he said: "O King of the deities, I want to sleep. No one should disturb my sleep and one who dares to disturb my sleep should get burnt to ashes". Indra said: "So be it, go to the earth and enjoy your sleep, one who awakens you would be reduced to ashes".) and Physics Manipulation/Conceptual Manipulation (All of the Devas needed help from a human being, the king Muchukunda who protected them where he lives in Swarga where one year there equals three hundred and sixty years on earth, as none of the deities could grant the boon of Moksha due to it being “beyond our capacities” as he instead got the boon of sleep and whoever awakened him would be reduced to ashes completely where Kalayavana, an undefeated and unmatched king, was killed by his gaze as the person “whom Muchukunda’s gaze falls to is doomed to instantaneous death” (who was granted the boon of being undefeatable on the battlefield by Shiva), was killed by his gaze as the gaze, where he falls asleep after and sees Krishna as the Supreme Personality of the Godhead, who grants Moksha, which means that his gazing power likely works on anyone due to it being instantaneous death, including immortal entities since this gaze of his likely is equivalent to Shiva’s usage of the third eye and his flames (including the Trishula and any related Astra) or just below in terms of existence erasure which also includes Indra since he protected all of the Deva and fought against all of the Asura (meaning he can presumably destroy dimensions and his gaze can kill any Deva or Asura due to having protecting all beings, as well as him literally being immortal) as well as transcending other versions of this ability and thus can petrify all beings and instantly kill anyone who glances at him; however the condition of this ability is only activated when he is awoken whilst sleeping, meaning if this ability was passive, he beats every single Asura and Deva without much resistance as Krishna at his most powerful needed his help, meaning he still scales above every Deva and Asura and can kill concepts on a metaphysical level with his boon.)
Sealing (Rishaba is powerful enough to be made a conqueror by merely praying and a conqueror, compared and equal to a prime Indra as all enemies are vanquished beneath his feet, bearing the all-affecting power of Vishnu which can be used to bind anyone, having mastered all thought and having gained strength in war and peace. In Rigveda Chapter 10, verse 166 trans. Griffiths: 1. Make me a bull among my peers, make me my rivals, conqueror. Make me the slayer of my foes, a sovran ruler, lord of kine 2. I am my rivals' slayer, like Indra unwounded and unhurt, And all these enemies of mine are vanquished and beneath my feet. 3. Here, verily, I bind you fast, as the two bow-ends with the string. Press down these men, O Lord of Speech, that they may humbly speak to me. 4. Hither I came as conqueror with mighty all-effecting power, And I have mastered all your thought, your synod, and your holy work.
5. May I be highest, having gained your strength in war, your skill in peace my feet have trodden on your heads. Speak to me from beneath my feet, as frogs from out the water croak, as frogs from out the water croak.)Size Manipulation, Power Bestowal (In the Bṛhaddevatā, Gritsamada is stated to have become as large and strong as Indra through penances, which led to the daityas Dhuni and Cumiri to mistake him for such. When Gritsamada realized their hostile intentions, he praised Indra with hymns so that Indra could defeat them. According to the late medieval commentator Sayana, Gritsamada was captured by asuras and was released on Indra's command and by his was made the son of Śunaka Bhārgava. In the Mahābhārata, not Vasishtha but Varishtha, curses Gritsamada to be a wild animal as a result of Gritsamada faltering in the recitation of formulae in a sacrifice. He cursed that he would be an animal divested of intelligence, subject to grief, ever filled with fear and that he would be an animal for ten thousand years with ten and eight hundred years in addition. However, Śiva restores him to his normal form and grants him immortality. Gritsamada later shared this story to Yudhishthira.)
Conceptual Manipulation (Personification of drought), Invulnerability to Water Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Time Stop, Elemental Manipulation and Reality Warping (Vishnu and the rishis (sages) brokered a truce, with Indra swearing that he would not attack Vritra with anything made of metal, wood or stone, nor anything that was dry or wet, or during the day or the night. Indra used the foam (which Vishnu had entered to ensure victory) from the waves of the ocean to kill him at twilight.) and Size Manipulation/Reactive Evolution/Accelerated Development (SB 6.9.11: After Visvarupa was killed, his father, Tvashta, performed ritualistic ceremonies to kill Indra. He offered oblations in the sacrificial fire, saying, "O enemy of Indra, flourish to kill your enemy without delay." SB 6.9.12: Thereafter, from the southern side of the sacrificial fire known as Anvaharya came a fearful personality who looked like the destroyer of the entire creation at the end of the millennium. SB 6.9.13-17: Like arrows released in the four directions, the demon's body grew, day after day. Tall and blackish, he appeared like a burnt hill and was as lustrous as a bright array of clouds in the evening. The hair on the demon's body and his beard and moustache were the colour of melted copper, and his eyes were piercing like the midday sun. He appeared unconquerable as if holding the three worlds on the points of his blazing trident. Dancing and shouting with a loud voice, he made the entire surface of the earth tremble as if from an earthquake. As he yawned, again and again, he seemed to be trying to swallow the whole sky with his mouth, which was as deep as a cave. He seemed to be licking up all the stars in the sky with his tongue and eating the entire universe with his long, sharp teeth. Seeing this gigantic demon, everyone, in great fear, ran here and there in all directions.
SB 6.9.18: That very fearful demon, who was actually the son of Tvashta, covered all the planetary systems by dint of austerity. Therefore, he was named Vritra, or one who covers everything) as well as Nonduality and Immortality (Type 9 in Vaishnavism - In Vaishnavism, Vritra is depicted to be a devotee of Vishnu. In the Srimad Bhagavatam, when the vajra-armed Indra and the devas battle against Vritra and his asuras, the Vritra proclaims that were he to fall in battle, he would be blessed, since the vajra was imbued with the power of Vishnu and Dadhichi. During the single combat between Indra and Vritra, the former drops his vajra when he is struck on the cheek. Even as the devas gasp, Vritra merely advises him to pick up his weapon, since life and death are the same for him, as he believes that they are all instruments of Vishnu. Indra marvels at the asura's devotion to the preserver deity. When the king of the devas succeeds in slicing both of his opponent's arms, the latter swallows him whole, along with Airavata. Protected by Vishnu, Indra cuts open the belly of Vritra and escapes, finally beheading him with the vajra. Vritra ascends to Vaikuntha upon his death).Statistics Amplification (3-headed boon resulted in an increase of strength over time) and Omniscience (The Vedas embody omniscience - His three heads were each named Somapītha, Surāpītha, and Annāda as each head consumed Soma, Sura, and food, respectively. It is also told that one head was responsible for drinking; with another head, he observed his surroundings; and with his last head, he read the Vedas. Trishiras grew powerful and performed penance to become more powerful. Indra became frightened of him, and sent Apsaras (nymphs) to seduce him and break his penance. However, Trisharas was unaffected and Indra went to him and killed him using his thunderbolt. He was concerned about the possibility of Trishiras reviving, so he sent a carpenter to cut off each of his heads. From the head that chanted Vedic mantras rose the Kapiñjala birds; from the head used for drinking soma rose the Kalapiṅga birds and from the third head rose the Tittiri birds. Tvashta performed a yajna, from which Vritra emerged to avenge Trishiras's death)
Omniscience and Life Manipulation/Resurrection (Richika is a sage who gained the knowledge on all weapons and could grant the boon on restoring a woman back to life and granted another boon to be righteous in the future; Gadhi really did not want her daughter to marry this financially challenged Rishi. So what if he was spiritually rich? But he didn’t have the guts to say so outright. It might anger Richika, and bring down a curse upon himself. The way out, was to set an impossible task for Richika as a condition for the marriage. So he asked Richika: “I have no objections to the marriage he said” even though he certainly had. “As a show of good faith, can you get me some horses?”. He was certain that there’s no way Richika could get them at short notice. Richika was quick to reply that sure, no problem. Gadhi was surprised but proceeded cautiously: “I don’t want toy horses. I want real living, breathing statuesque horses” “No problem” said Richika again. “How many do you need?” “Err… a hundred.” replied Gadhi and seeing Richika’s confident smile quickly added “No, did I say hundred? I meant a thousand” Richika was still confident. “Sure. Any other specifications?” Gadhi was getting desperate now as he realized that somehow Richika could in fact deliver those horses. He decided to up the stakes. “I want them all to be white but with black ears. I want the first one to have purple eyes and a mole on his right foreleg. The second one should have a green tail and an orange mane. On the third one….” and he went on and on.) as well as Durability Negation, resistance to Light Manipulation and Conceptual Manipulation (Shot Surya, completely terrifying him), Summoning and Reality Warping (Richika simply closed his eyes and prayed to Varuna. Varuna, the god of the Sea and gladly helped out. And they weren’t seahorses. They were real horses, exactly according to Gadhi’s specifications. Gadhi had no choice. He had to let his daughter Satyavati marry Richika. In contrast with her namesake from the Mahabharat who had married into royalty, the Satyavati from today’s story had married out of it. After her marriage to Richika, she went to live with him in his humble little home, not the other way around. Nevertheless she kept in touch with her parents. Even more so after it turned out that Satyavati and her mom were bump buddies! Yes, they were both expecting a child about the same time. And if you’re wondering, yes there was a very real possibility that Satyavati’s child would actually be older than his or her uncle or aunt. One day, Satyavati asked Richika to work his magic. He clearly could manage to pull a thousand horses out of thin air. Surely that meant he could also do other kinds of magic. Like ensuring that their child had certain characteristics.), Curse Manipulation, Time Manipulation/Time Travel and Acausality (Type 1 or 2 - While on a walk with his wife Renuka on the banks of Narmada, Jamadagni had an overpowering desire to make love his wife. Since the place was inhibited he was not reluctant to act out his feelings. Surya Deva, who witnessed this, came disguised as a Brahmana and advised the sage that what he was doing was not Dharma, and he was not being a good example. But as interrupting the natural activities like eating, making love etc, are also considered Adharma, the sage was also equally infuriated and as much as being embarrassed too. Renuka was all the more embarrassed and very shy as she was naked; thus the mood was spoilt. He cursed Surya to be afflicted by Rahu and will be considered malefic and Suryadeva in turn cursed the sage to meet humiliation and death at the hands of a king. Lord Brahma came and intervened and pacified both of them such that the splendor of Surya was unaffected. He can also curse someone to be born without ancestors) and Plot Manipulation (Once Mahavishnu’s Sudarshana Chakra was overcome with extreme pride of its own powers. Lord Vishnu cursed it to be born in the human form, with weak hands. The Chakra immediately regretted its own action, but the Lord assured him that they will back together soon enough. So it has been said that Sudarshana Chakra was born as Kartaviryarjuna, a great devotee of Sri Dattatreya, born with very small and weak arms. He belonged to the Haihaya kingdom with Mahishmati as the capital (modern day Maheshwar near Narmada River). Through his penance he pleased Lord Dattatrya and was granted a flying golden chariot that could travel anywhere, wherever he wished. He was also blessed with a thousand arms. Kartaviryarjuna having received many boons from Lord Dattatreya, became a very mighty but a haughty emperor. He even defeated Ravana once and Ravana’s grandfather Pulastya had to beg Kartaviryarjuna for his freedom. He also received a boon that his death will be caused by someone worth of his righteousness. To fulfill his part of the bargain with Sudarshana, Lord Vishnu took birth as Parasurama.
Drunk with ego of his newfound powers, he became tyrannical and began tormenting every one. Once when Jamadagni was alone in the hermitage with wife, when Kartaviryarjuna paid a visit and demanded he and his army be fed. With the help of Surabhi the Kamadhenu, the sage was able to fulfill the demands without much problem. Kartaviryarjuna demanded the cow be his and forcefully tried to take the cow away. Surabhi created a counter army and in the fight that ensued, the king’s army was defeated. The king lost his patience and killed the sage and started searching for Surabhi, but she was to be seen nowhere. It is said that she vanished and went back to the heaven)Perfection, resistance to Biological Manipulation, Omniscience, Duplication and Immortality (Type 5/9 - Parasara’s boons are perfect bodies that are immune to diseases and functionally immortal. Parasara grants boons that allows bodies to essentially be perfect as well as immortality and immunity to diseases and he transcends Agni since he is able to write about him and thus knows the idea that Brahman is endlessly beyond the Sun who is unchangeable and the source of all creation.)
Size Manipulation (In the Vishnu Purana, chapter 9: It being Pralamba's duty to carry Saṅkarshana, the latter mounted upon his shoulders, like the moon riding above a dark cloud; and the demon ran off with him, but did not stop: finding himself, however, unable to bear the weight of Balarāma, he enlarged his bulk, and looked like a black cloud in the rainy season, Balarāma beholding him like a scorched mountain, his head crowned with a diadem, and his neck hung round with garlands, having eyes as large as cart wheels, a fearful form, and shaking the earth with his tread, called out, as he was carried away, to his brother, “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa, I am carried off by some demon, disguised as a cowherd, and huge as a mountain! What shall I do? Tell me, Madhusūdana: the villain runs away with speed)
Weight Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Elemental Manipulation, Physics Manipulation and Energy Manipulation as well as Absolute Destruction and Matter Manipulation (On an atomic level - Prasastapada can control the idea of heaviness, fluidity, merit, faculties and then control the concept of cognition to the point where the user treats all elements and can use them on an atomic level as well as dissolve the entire universe through controlling the concept of karma as the user can then control anything on an atomic level)
Air Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Teleportation and Death Manipulation (Assuming the form of a whirl-wind, Trinavarta carried away the sitting Krishna. He enveloped the whole of Gokulam with a cloud of dust and darkness, the resultant cover of sand particles causing great distress to Yashoda, who attempted to find her son with the help of the gopis. Even as the asura carried the deity to the sky, Krishna caused himself to possess enormous weight, halting the asura in his ascent, who was unable to carry him farther. The deity then proceeded to clasp his captor's throat with intense force, which paralysed him and pushed out his eye-sockets. The asura descended back to the region of Vraja, where he was crushed to death upon a rock. Nanda and the gopas discovered the infant dangling upon the chest of the slain asura, completely unharmed)
Light Manipulation, Invulnerability and Conceptual Manipulation (He is an asura who is responsible for solar eclipses and lunar eclipses as he struck and damaged Surya, causing the sun to be overshadowed with darkness as he then survived a beheading only to strike the sun and moon and destroy them - he is an asura and would lose to Rambha. An assistant of Shukra (Venus), Svarbhānu was also the teacher of the asuras. He deceitfully quaffed the amrita proffered by Mohini, thereby achieving immortality as two beings despite being beheaded immediately after: his head as Rahu and his body as Ketu. According to the Mahabharata, the sun god Surya is also described as an "enemy of Svarbhānu". Svarbhānu was said to strike both the sun and moon with arrows, the celestial bodies being revived by Atri as in the Rigveda. Svarbhānu is described as an asura twice in the Family Books of the Rigveda. Svarbhānu is described to strike Surya, overshadowing the sun with darkness. Stella Kramrisch considers this act as portraying Svarbhānu as a deity greater than the sun.)
Immortality (Type 5/9), Reality Warping, Space-Time Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Nonduality (Type 3), Fate Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Power Bestowal, Power Nullification, Power Mimicry, Power Modification (Over Yama's powers) as well as possible Omnipotence and Omniscience (through Moksha and Atman) and then Death Manipulation/Conceptual Manipulation (Nachiketa, desired a boon from Yama, the god of Death where Yama could give the boons that included longevity (likely immortality), progeny, wealth, rulership and control of any planets; but he desired none of these as Yama explained Atman as it is inseparable from Brahman which is the Ultimate Reality and vital force of the universe. He also has access to Om, the syllable of Brahman which created all things as Om is also the symbol of Atman, which is a part of the omnipresent Brahman, where Atman is smaller than the smallest and larger than the largest (smaller than Anima and larger than Mahima) as well as it being all-pervading with the goal of wise men and women being to know the Atman as it is like a rider, with the horse being the senses which are used to guide through the maze of life and desires conceptually, as the Atman goes beyond death due to being immortal as Atman cannot even be understood by reading the Vedas on a mere whim and the inability to realise Atman and Brahman permanently links one to the cycle of rebirth and only upon understanding, does one gain Moksha with the eponymous sage being a Jivanmukta, or one who has gained Moksha whilst living, which is an effectively impossible task for most people. In addition to everything mentioned, the sage is casually able to go to Yama’s house and see him; with Yama seemingly having the wisdom to understand Brahman in some form)
Plot Manipulation, Curse Manipulation and Reality Warping (Valmiki was able to write the Ramayana thanks to a boon from Brahma, which contains characters who can easily annihilate planets and universes as well as curse someone for all of eternity for killing a bird. Valmiki was going to the river Ganges for his daily ablutions. A disciple by the name Bharadwaja was carrying his clothes. On the way, they came across the Tamasa Stream. Looking at the stream, Valmiki said to his disciple, "Look, how clear is this water, like the mind of a good man! I will bathe here today." When he was looking for a suitable place to step into the stream, he saw a crane couple mating. Valmiki felt very pleased on seeing the happy birds. Suddenly, hit by an arrow, the male bird died on the spot. Filled by sorrow, its mate screamed in agony and died of shock. Valmiki's heart melted at this pitiful sight. He looked around to find out who had shot the bird. He saw a hunter with a bow and arrows, nearby. Valmiki became very angry. His lips opened and he cried out, मा निषाद प्रतिष्ठां त्वमगमः शाश्वतीः समाः।यत्क्रौञ्चमिथुनादेकमवधीः काममोहितम्॥' translated into 'mā niṣāda pratiṣṭhā tvamagamaḥ śāśvatīḥ samāḥ
yat krauñcamithunādekam avadhīḥ kāmamohitam' fully meaning: "You will find no rest for the long years of Eternity. For you killed a bird in love and unsuspecting)Omnipotence (Angiras is a sage who has divine knowledge on all things such as men and deities with him being able to either marry the concept of memory or the concept of oblation (a thing offered to a deity) as he is able to control fire on the level of Agni who is compared to Brahman with the use of fire. However, Angiras did the unthinkable and turned his senses inwards, focusing on Para Brahman who is the "creator of the creator" and his penance was infinitely multiplied where he "attained many divine qualities, powers, and riches, and control over many worlds" and became one with Para Brahman, even being able to bring things from space to earth, meaning he is the most powerful sage and entity to ever exist in Hinduism.), Reality Warping, Life Manipulation, Creation, Space-Time Manipulation, possible Curse Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Nonduality (Type 3), Regeneration (High-Godly), Immortality (Type 9 - All of which: Angiras is a sage who has divine knowledge on all things such as men and deities with him being able to either marry the concept of memory or the concept of oblation (a thing offered to a deity) as he is able to control fire on the level of Agni who is compared to Brahman with the use of fire.

Omnipotence (Mudgala is a sage who casually mastered the attainment of the state of Nirvana which is beyond all forms of time, as it is transcendent of space and all boundaries and concepts as it is a state of ascension to absolute boundlessness existing outside of all dimensions that he could summon every Deva possible and had a young wife whom he offered a boon to as they started a sexual lifestyle where he turned into a mountain and turned her into a river and he became a tree and after a thousand years of this, he casually cursed her to the point where her reincarnation would change. After Ravana witnessed the sage meditating, he struck his staff with his sword that literally embodies the moon, causing it to break which broke the sage's spine as he somehow survived this and cursed Ravana so his sword is always ineffective meaning the sage could curse entire planets where he could then go into Vishnu's highest realm known as Parama Padam which is free of all attachments and comparable to Nirvana.)
Omniscience (Satyakama recognised that Brahman is in all things)
Creation and Summoning (The Ramayana presents a similar account about Kamadhenu, however, here the sage is Vashista and the king is Vishvamitra. Once, king Vishwamitra with his army arrived at the hermitage of sage Vashista. The sage welcomed him and offered a huge banquet – to the army – that was produced by Sabala – as Kamadhenu is called in the text. The astonished king asked the sage to part with Sabala and instead offered thousand of ordinary cows, elephants, horses and jewels in return. However, the sage refused to part with Sabala, who was necessary for the performance of the sacred rituals and charity by the sage. Agitated, Vishwamitra seized Sabala by force, but she returned to her master, fighting the king's men. She hinted Vashista to order her to destroy the king's army and the sage followed her wish. Intensely, she produced Pahlava warriors, who were slain by Vishwamitra's army), Water Manipulation and Immortality (Type 9 - The Mahabharata (Adi Parva book) records that Kamadhenu-Surabhi rose from the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthana) by the gods and demons to acquire Amrita (ambrosia, elixir of life)) and Reality Warping/Probability Manipulation (She is a miraculous cow of plenty who provides her owner whatever he desires) and Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Supernatural Luck (The Padma Purana mentions that when Kartavirya Arjuna tried to capture her, Kamadhenu, by her own power, defeated him and his army and flew off to heaven; In every story she is featured in such as the Puranas, she never gets caught and always escapes harm through unknown means although it could be argued that she is simply beyond every being that attacks her), Conceptual Manipulation (Over cows) and resistance to Curse Manipulation (Survived being cursed by Shiva in the Skanda Purana), Omniscience (The Brahma Vaivarta Purana narrates that the celestial cow – called Kapila here – produces various weapons and an army to aid Jamadagni defeat the king's army, who had come to seize her. When the king himself challenged Jamadagni for battle, Kapila instructed her master in martial arts. Jamadagni led the army created by Kapila and defeated the king and his army several times; each time sparing the life of the king), Causality Manipulation (Being a miraculous cow, she should have this power), Fate Manipulation (Her tears are considered a bad omen for the gods by Indra, the god-king of heaven), Omnipotence (She is able to grant incredible reality altering powers so she should be able to casually do this), Space-Time Manipulation and Elemental Manipulation (In some iconography and interpretations, she is said to have been the creator of all things such as the Devi Bhagavata Purana where she made the Ocean of Milk by some milk spilling out of her side. Numerous cows then emerged from the pores of Surabhi's skin and were presented to the cowherd-companions (Gopas) of Krishna by him. In the Ramayana, she produced warriors of Shaka-Yavana lineage. From her mouth, emerged the Kambhojas, from her udder Barvaras, from her hind Yavanas and Shakas, and from pores on her skin, Haritas, Kiratas and other foreign warriors. She also symbolizes the Panch Bhuta (the five classical elements) in the icon. Dattatreya is sometimes depicted holding the divine cow in one of his hands) and Subjective Reality (Only over her world of Goloka, the world of cows with Go meaning cow in Sanskrit. She can also exist in Patala, the underworld and have control over it)
Gravity Manipulation, Omniscience, Reactive Evolution, Accelerated Development, Soul Manipulation, Nonduality (Type 3) and Immortality (Type 9) and Regeneration (High-Godly - Shandilya is a sage who can easily control the Moon and understand the limitlessness of Brahman with Brahman being truly indeterminate as Brahman is the “Absolute life-principle within which emerge, function, evolve and dissolve all beings as Brahman created the universe as Brahman is above Atman who is above all worlds, greater than the earth and space itself where the Atman allows for the attachment to the Godhead Para Brahman, with the universal Atman being what all things are born, live and repair in with the Atman being infinite and only reachable after death with his soul being Brahman, who is changeless, unbound by space and time, being Mahadev, Mahavishnu and Mahabrahma and transcending them with no effort and the individual self is from Brahman, with Brahman being far above that as Atman is said to be seen as light in an ethereal nature that changes its shape at will, being able to move at the speed of thought, being greater than Purusha, the sky, the earth, greater than all existing things as it can shrink anything including concepts or living beings with Atman of the body, soul and mind being equivalent to Purusha who is the source, support, power and light of the entire creation, also being equivalent to Ishvara who is the highest form of Vishnu as Atman and Brahman is the creator and overlord of all things. This form of Atman is known as the Universal Atman or Tajjalān which is likely endlessly below that of Paramatman, which erases personality and individuality and is below Para Brahman infinitely)
Omniscience, Power Bestowal/Power Modification, Time Manipulation, Acausality (Type 3 - Sakayanya understands the infinity of time and can even grant boons with ease as he can presumably control the form, manifestation and existence of time where he can also control it through dividing it into certain areas as Time is also a form of death, who is a fraction of Brahman since Time dissolves all things since it cannot be absorbed and decay all things in the universe)
Reality Warping, Space-Time Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation and Death Manipulation (Matanga, which causes instant death. Matanga is also above Dadhichi due to being able to curse a person through forcing reality and time to alter itself)
Time Manipulation, Curse Manipulation, Time Stop, Time Travel, Soul Manipulation (Kabandha spent his days near the hermitage of the sage Matanga in the Krauncha forest. There, he spent his time scaring sages. Once, Kabandha attacked the sage Stulashira, who cursed him to remain in his hideous form for eternity. Upon Kabandha's pleading, the sage reduced his curse and said that Kabandha would be freed of his form, once Rama and Lakshmana sever his arms. So Kabandha waited in that forest for Rama's arrival)
Conceptual Manipulation, Omniscience, Space-Time Manipulation, Flight, Statistics Amplification, Light Manipulation, Reality Warping and Omnipresence (Pravahana was a king who was a philosopher and understood the concept of transmigration as he also understood the concept of the sun burning as fuel from the sacrifice of the Moon, which is thus compared, however he also recognised that space was the true origin of all things in which space, water and heaven were mere iotas of Brahman as he went on the Devayāna which allowed him to eventually, after an infinite amount of time, reach Brahman with him being above light)
Superhuman Physical Characteristics and Death Manipulation (Viprachitti is a danava featured in Hindu literature, a son of Kashyapa and Danu. According to the Mahabharata, he becomes the king of the Danavas after his brother Puloman was killed by Indra. Viprachitti marries Siṃhikā, who is the sister of Hiranyakashipu and a daughter of Diti. He has a son named Svarbhanu. His army is stated to have defeated the devas under the guidance of Svarbhanu)
Omniscience, Weapon Mastery, Weapon Creation and Weapon Manipulation (Shiva’s boon was given to Vasistha for knowledge of celestial weaponry, which is helpful since it can be used against other beings)
Life Manipulation, Resurrection, Immortality (Type 3 and 5) as well as possible Energy Projection (Sandipani could gain a boon to have his child restored via Krishna’s “peerless energy” who could perform a feat that couldn’t be performed by anyone else)
Omniscience and Elemental Manipulation (Raikva is a cart-driver who understood the truth of reality and thus likely hold earth, heaven, water, space and air with extreme difficulty as well as understanding this to be the source of all things, since Air is the final absorbent of all things including even the Moon and Sun as air is needed by all of the deities since Prana and Vayu are mere iotas of Brahman’s power who is the substratum of all creation)
Light Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Reality Warping and Space-Time Manipulation as well as Curse Manipulation/Death Manipulation (Mandava/Mandavya is a person likely far weaker than Bhrigu cursed the sun to never rise the next day, causing universal chaos which forced the Devas to approach him as Shiva blessed him with the boon of immortality and Mandavya cursed a Brahmin and Yama to die before the age of twelve, which means Bhrigu could also do the same with far less effort)
Omniscience, Nonduality (Type 3), Fire Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Yajnavalkya was a sage who understood the ideas of dualism, non-dualism, reality and Brahman as a concept as he understood Atman as it is free, liberated and imperishable as a state of existence, being beyond good and evil, suffering overcoming all evil and burning it away meta-conceptually and reaching self-realisation with the Universal Self, transcending all forms of cognition, emotions, time and space, becoming Brahman in the form of Atman to liberate oneself spiritually, as this state of being is beyond spots and all concepts of identification and understanding such as the sun, moon and spots, with the Self being indestructible, not graspable, unattached, undisturbed with the whole Self being able to grant knowledge to the whole world and they can dream all reality into being)
Power Nullification, Body Control, Nonduality (Type 3), Soul Manipulation, https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Form_Manipulation Form Manipulation], Reality Warping, Shapeshifting, Invisibility, Intangibility, Omniscience, Omnipresence and Omnipotence (The user can control the concept of Neti Neti which allows one to negate everything that isn’t Brahman as well as nullify all objects of consciousness, including even thoughts and the mind as well as the concept of non-dualism, awareness and reality excluding the Atman which means they can even negate the concept of Anatta, as well as being beyond identification itself as a concept where the user negates and transcends all worldly experiences until nothing remains but Atman, which is completely indestructible. This Atman also allows for complete unity with the soul, transcending all definitions of the body, name, identification, form, intelligence, senses, limitations and “I” since it also annihilates ego. The user can then use the power of Brahman in the forms of Saguna and Nirguna which include the attributes of infinity made manifest in a physical form whereas Nirguna is beyond all levels of comprehension as Brahman is free from all things negative as well as being immaterial and material and going beyond Satya, which is a concept that goes beyond the definition of truth and falsehood as Brahman’s forms are infinite.)
Fear Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Personification of drought), Invulnerability to Water Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Time Stop, Elemental Manipulation and Reality Warping (Vishnu and the rishis (sages) brokered a truce, with Indra swearing that he would not attack Vritra with anything made of metal, wood or stone, nor anything that was dry or wet, or during the day or the night. Indra used the foam (which Vishnu had entered to ensure victory) from the waves of the ocean to kill him at twilight.) and Size Manipulation/Reactive Evolution/Accelerated Development (SB 6.9.11: After Visvarupa was killed, his father, Tvashta, performed ritualistic ceremonies to kill Indra. He offered oblations in the sacrificial fire, saying, "O enemy of Indra, flourish to kill your enemy without delay." SB 6.9.12: Thereafter, from the southern side of the sacrificial fire known as Anvaharya came a fearful personality who looked like the destroyer of the entire creation at the end of the millennium. SB 6.9.13-17: Like arrows released in the four directions, the demon's body grew, day after day. Tall and blackish, he appeared like a burnt hill and was as lustrous as a bright array of clouds in the evening. The hair on the demon's body and his beard and moustache were the colour of melted copper, and his eyes were piercing like the midday sun. He appeared unconquerable as if holding the three worlds on the points of his blazing trident. Dancing and shouting with a loud voice, he made the entire surface of the earth tremble as if from an earthquake. As he yawned, again and again, he seemed to be trying to swallow the whole sky with his mouth, which was as deep as a cave. He seemed to be licking up all the stars in the sky with his tongue and eating the entire universe with his long, sharp teeth. Seeing this gigantic demon, everyone, in great fear, ran here and there in all directions.
SB 6.9.18: That very fearful demon, who was actually the son of Tvashta, covered all the planetary systems by dint of austerity. Therefore, he was named Vritra, or one who covers everything) as well as Nonduality and Immortality (Type 9 in Vaishnavism - In Vaishnavism, Vritra is depicted to be a devotee of Vishnu. In the Srimad Bhagavatam, when the vajra-armed Indra and the devas battle against Vritra and his asuras, the Vritra proclaims that were he to fall in battle, he would be blessed, since the vajra was imbued with the power of Vishnu and Dadhichi. During the single combat between Indra and Vritra, the former drops his vajra when he is struck on the cheek. Even as the devas gasp, Vritra merely advises him to pick up his weapon, since life and death are the same for him, as he believes that they are all instruments of Vishnu. Indra marvels at the asura's devotion to the preserver deity. When the king of the devas succeeds in slicing both of his opponent's arms, the latter swallows him whole, along with Airavata. Protected by Vishnu, Indra cuts open the belly of Vritra and escapes, finally beheading him with the vajra. Vritra ascends to Vaikuntha upon his death) and Conceptual Manipulation plus resistance of Nonduality (Type 3 - The control of Mada (boon/state of being) the mere presence of him is enough to scare Rakshasas and even other Devas such as Indra since he fears him as he is seen to be a being created by a god sage known as Chyavana where he can even intoxicate the deity Indra since he can grow big enough to swallow the universe in one gulp and then fight Indra who literally carried a mountain in one hand and the Vajra in the other as his teeth and jaws were enough to engulf the earth and all of space including the gods likely including the Trimurti and he can also control the concepts of desire, anger, greed, infatuation, arrogance and jealousy which prevent moksha from being attained, forcing lack of knowledge on the True Being as they can control doubt, positivity, negativity, and the opposition of objects as they can then control the concept of errors and hypothetical arguments and thus create and control delusions where they can control falsehood, appearances and reality where unattainability of the truth becomes factual as without experiencing knowledge of reality and truth, reduces the understanding of Divine Love with the soul as they understand divinity where the person enjoys the power of peace forever where delusions ignore the Atman as its beyond the arrogant mind and personal desire (Karma) as they can control the mind and envy on a universal level. If placed confidently, it would be in the top 6 since he would be able to scare and eat the Trimurti as well as put Indra near-death as his jaws were enough to crush space and put the Trimurti in a state of possible near-death, controlling doubt and objects conceptually. It is an enemy of the mind being equivalent to the Seven Deadly Sins, signifying concepts such as excessive pride, arrogance and stubbornness which is seen as a major obstacle to moksha, which is a concept that transcends salvation, life, death, matter, reality and the mere presence of him is enough to scare Rakshasas and even other Devas such as Indra since he fears him as he is seen to be a being created by a god sage known as Chyavana where he can even intoxicate the deity Indra since he can grow big enough to swallow the universe in one gulp and then fight Indra who literally carried a mountain in one hand and the Vajra in the other as his teeth and jaws were enough to engulf the earth and all of space including the gods likely including the Trimurti and he can also control the concepts of desire, anger, greed, infatuation, arrogance and jealousy which prevent moksha from being attained, forcing lack of knowledge on the True Being as they can control doubt, positivity, negativity, and the opposition of objects as they can then control the concept of errors and hypothetical arguments and thus create and control delusions where they can control falsehood, appearances and reality where unattainability of the truth becomes factual as without experiencing knowledge of reality and truth, reduces the understanding of Divine Love with the soul as they understand divinity where the person enjoys the power of peace forever where delusions ignore the Atman as its beyond the arrogant mind and personal desire (Karma) as they can control the mind and envy on a universal level. If placed confidently, it would be in the top 6 since he would be able to scare and eat the Trimurti as well as put Indra near-death as his jaws were enough to crush space and put the Trimurti in a state of possible near-death. He is also above Kali due to Kali being a part of the Tridevi, and likely even surpasses Gayasura and Banasura’s boons due to him being above the Trimurti entirely as he can mind control everyone) and many more boons including Hanuman's.

He created the moon, the stars and the sun, night and day and mountains; he blessed the trees with flowers and fruits. He created the gods, human beings and the seven seas; He established the three worlds” (Guru Granth Sahib 13) as Brahma and Shiva worship Him as a Formless entity and by His Grace, all things can be gained as He is eternally intact since no-one can say how He came into being as He created countless Vishnus and Brahmas with their minds being intoxicated with human emotions in spite of being godlike, having created the 8.4 million species of all the world as the user can do this to anyone as the Lord is independent and truly carefree with all names being a mere part of the One, Timeless Reality as the power of Death’s messenger is beneath Him who created it as through understanding Him in the smallest ways, all sins are forgiven and eternal peace is obtained since without Him, true liberation infinitely beyond Moksha and Nirvana is attained as no-one has and can attain Him due to being beyond all since He is the Absolute Being and all who witness Him are immersed in wondrous and silent delight and erases egotism and allows the user to merge into His Divine Qualities, making them full of qualities as He is the Lord and Life of the World, far beyond Vayu at his most powerful as the Exalted One as the homeless find homes in the Hereafter where He is the Perfect Guru who has body parts beyond all conceptualisations or descriptions and through knowing His True Name of Vaheguru, He is sealed within the heart of the user, without doubt. The user can control the concept of Supreme Reality Akal (a name of Waheguru) whom is the Eternal Being, where all names of God (Waheguru in this case) are beyond all understanding as the basic reality of all things is nameless where Brahman is featureless, with featurelessness being its feature as the user becomes both alongside Nirankar (Shapeless) is also a feature with the Eternal Spirit being beyond time, temporality or all cosmic processes including death or time with Akal being completely eternal as all occurrences and things have Beginnings and Endings as each event is a process of Time with all things being the Creation of Time, who is beneath Waheguru as the power of Time controls all events with the only independent entity being Akal, the Timeless One as Waheguru as Time is within all entities, with the presence of Spiritual Essence being within each worldly occurrence, as the personality of the supreme being the sat-chit-anand, as the transcendent aspect is the Eternal, Beyond, Inexpressible, Fathomless, Nirguna Brahman being the one beyond Time as Akal is the dynamic spiritual principle behind all of existence as the phenomenal spirit emanates from the Spirit, and the Spirit permeates the world itself being beyond all manifestation and manner of time, creating all things, transforming from Nirguna to Sarguna at will, from dormant to creative cosmic existence at will as He is the Ultimate one being the everlasting lord beyond Time as the active principle of the world since the concept of power even on an omnipotent level is beneath Akal as humanity draws all inspirations from the endless reservoir of Creativity itself as the Timeless encompasses all things, considering He created all things from His Essence transcending all humanity. The user can then become omnipotent as they possess unlimited power since they can control the power of Waheguru and the Ik Onkar as this one God has existed forever since the beginning of time, and will never die, formless, shapeless, fearless, without enemies and self-sufficient as His Qualities are too many people to narrate as He is Omnipotent being the Ultimate Guru as His Condition is known only to Him with the limit of His Creative Omnipotence never being able to be estimated as He is God, All-Powerful, Lofty and Infinite as the Supreme Lord God is all-Powerful with His Creative Being that is beyond all understanding, beyond fear, malice, undying, beyond birth and truly self-existent as none are equal to Him as Allah (SWT) is also a name of God with Waheguru also being a name of God as everyone is made from His Will with Akal Purakh being a fraction of His Power, meaning timeless primal Being as Akal means timeless, with Time being the reason why everything exists as Ek Onkar means the One Creator with Satnam meaning His True Name, with Waheguru’s being truly unknown since Bhao Khandan means Destroyer of Fear, Dukh Bhankjo means Dispeller of Pain as Hari means Glowing, Shining, Vitalising and the Absolute Name of God as Bhagavan means Lord or Supreme Being as He is beyond full comprehension by all things in the universe as He has an endless number of virtues, alongside an endless number of innumerable forms and endless Names, all of which the user possesses.), Spatial Manipulation and Elemental Manipulation (Via Akasha which is space that is described as pervading the cosmos, being beyond fire, energy, water, air, earth and sound where it is omnipresent, imperceptible and eternal), Omnipotence, Creation, enhanced Transduality, Soul Manipulation (Ik Onkar which is beyond the universe itself as it is the unmanifest and primal power of Waheguru, as the all-pervading spirit as the Supreme Being beyond the Trimurti and the Christian God and that which controls the world with ease that is eternal and completely and utterly Divine which bears creative mystical Omnipotence, with the Ik Onkar essentially embodying Waheguru’s Omnipotence, as the Ik Onkar can illuminate the entire universe in a light that can nullify all darkness thanks to the Power of Waheguru. The user can also bear Ik Onkar on their other hand that embodies the idea and truth that there is only One God who is supreme which the user can become and bear His Traits as the user can recreate Creation as they become one entity who is incomparable to any other and the unmanifest Lord in power (embodying Omnipotence) as the holy word that is the primal manifestation of the Godhead (God’s name of Waheguru) as all lives under the user’s command as all beings eventually find their way to the user who has become God, the Absolute, the Supreme Reality, being omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, transcending the very name of transcendence infinitely. The user becomes God as all goes into them as they are the One Creator, even becoming God of a different faith such as Hinduism as God is monotheistic, essentially transcending Brahman and becoming one with Para Brahman, transcending the Gurus in knowledge as the user embodies truth, surpassing names and being a Creator deity, without hatred and fear, being imageless and without form, timeless and unborn and self-existent and bearing the Guru’s grace transcending all. The user becomes God and transcends pluralism entirely as they become absolute and monotheistic, even bearing Om on their person as the unifying force that evolved into the universe, transcending all Origin and Divinity as Ik Onkar, described as the Primal Sound created Brahma from nothing, who can create infinite-dimensional realms and his consciousness as from this came mountains and time that transcends all Kali and Yuga as even the Vedas was produced from this endless source of power as by its Grace, people were saved and became one with Heaven and surpassing Moksha infinitely as the user, with Ik Onkar and Om (or separately) can transcend the boundaries of time and space, having created all of time and space with a word, meaning the user embodies Waheguru’s Creative Omnipotence which cannot be estimated according to the text. The user can then manipulate Onkar as it is the sacred sound of Om as Ik Onkar is simply the ineffable quality of God which is the Person Beyond time, who is eternal and formless and imageless as the universe evolves according to the user’s will where the attributed origin of all things is given to the Divine which allows the user to create anything since Onkar is the Primal Sound that allows the user to transcend durability and all things with the user being the Supreme Being without a second, the source as the goal of all that exists as they are the Master, surpassing Atman entirely as the One is the source of all Creation and supreme as they are eternal and without form and becoming God with the name of Waheguru, meaning every deity is beneath the user. The user can casually become the One Deity who transcends all concepts and is the one Essence that sustains all by literally existing, surpassing Brahman and Atman and even Paramatman infinitely as they endlessly surpass the Trinity of Christianity (being a Divine Incarnation and omnipotent soul) and the Trimurti and all other gods (who can destroy the universe and possibly infinite multiverse with literal ease) as the user is above all of it as with the Ik Onkar, they can control all things since they bear the power of Waheguru. The user becomes one with or at the very least understands the power of God which is infinite, essentially using Samadhi in its absolutely highest state as the user becomes the Creator, all-pervading Spirit, without fear , unaffected by and transcending time as all things can occur thanks to the Grace of the Lord as the user controls the most holy word ever, becoming an ocean of knowledge and bliss as they are all that has existed, does exist and will exist, as they become God and bear His Personality and channels the full power of Shunyata), enhanced Creation and Age Manipulation, Sealing and Willpower Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Death Manipulation (The user can control the Divine Order of creation through using the Hukam to essentially do whatever is needed as they control the concept of non-action which is beyond the soul as an existing idea as the user can control the entire world without any effort as Waheguru is beyond all things, inherently being above Absolute Beings, such as the Trimurti even in their true forms as He is beyond dualism and non-dualism without any doubt due to being the creator of all things as He is also beyond causality conceptually with the user being able to control predestination on any scale they desire as they control the concept of birth and death, ultimately being far beyond the Universal Self with them being able to liberate the Atman conceptually as they are beyond the concept of Hukam entirely due to being one with Waheguru, being beyond all forms of reincarnation. The user can then control the idea of Nam Japo which refers to contemplating the various qualities of Waheguru who is formless, the creator of all forms and one who is omnipresent as the user passively gains a divine connection with Waheguru whose fraction of power is known as Akal Purakh, the supreme formless power that is beyond time and death completely as all desires are fulfilled and the mind is cleansed as they can harness godly qualities as they become the Lord and Master of all Creation. They can then control the concept of Kirat Karō which are God-given skills, abilities, talents and hard labour for their own improvement as the user can then casually control entire communities as through finding the infinite Lord, they become the immeasurable peace and then do whatever it is they need to do as they become immortal by saying the name of Waheguru as they become unapproachable as they control all positive emotions and then create the concept of Time as they become immortal and control the Guru Granth Sahib. The user can then control the Supreme Lord and the Ik Onkar which is used to describe the transcendent, formless God who is creator, sustainer and destroyer with it being the immanent spirit of God with the universe being created by a primordial sound known as the first wisdom with God being the spirit and pure light that excites all minds to find the truth as the user is already one with Waheguru as the user can control existence as a concept with them being able to control the mystic power of God’s invisible law which allows the user to control law as a universal concept with them being able to control the Five Thieves of lust, wrath, greed, pride and ego which are universal concepts that can steal the soul as well as the Five Virtues which further allows them to control the dust that pervades all things as they control all aspects of life as well as being able to intoxicate anyone through using certain things such as cannabis or being able to intoxicate the mind without much effort as they can pierce the enemies’ body parts and control all things such as speech or the mind. The user then controls the concept of Kritana which allows the user to narrate all things, including stories which allows them to transcend any deities in Hinduism with them being able to control shrines or temples through narrating their existence and what they are as they can then control the concept of colour and time-space through doing this as this can be done to use Moksha on enemies who need it to be done to them as as they control action and knowledge as concepts as they control the definition of remembrance, love, servitude, humility and surrender which can be done to the enemy, removing them from any definition of battle as they are forced to surrender as the user can control spirits and minds of them to hypnotise them and thus control curses to transform them into spirits. The user can then control God’s creation, which is described as perfect due to be an eternal guru who is the same as Him with them being able to control the Kangha which is a comb that embodies organisation and faith conceptually with it also embodying the perfect condition as the Kara is the bangle or circular seal that allows for the Lord to illuminate their heart with His Divine Light that can grant them the totality of God with its damage output being amplified through the usage of spikes as well as being able to control the Kirpan, which is a dagger or miniature sword that can embody divine grace and thus cut swaths through a battlefield if they wanted and thus likely increase its size as those who use it are fearless with them finally being able to use the Dastar which allows the user to literally use the Hand of Waheguru which is endlessly beyond all gurus and spiritualist humans due to being functionally Omnipotent, thus meaning that Waheguru is endlessly beyond it since the user can use one of His Hands which are beyond all definable understanding. The user can then control Seva which means to serve which forces the enemy to willingly serve the user to do whatever they need to, as they have full control of the soul, life, death, time, space and the cycle of samsara as they become omnipresent within the creation of God as they transcend all attachment and worldly phenomena as the Nam is beyond all creation, due to being able to hold all of it as it is a mere fraction of the Ik Onkar as they know the Divine and Ultimate Truth, as they have some understanding of God Himself as they can summon a sword that can cut open the heart by cutting the very air as they control the definition of names to affect all of reality through time itself as they control the concept of life and sound itself on a universal scale at least as the user can control holy water and say “Almighty Lord” to exorcise any bad spirits they wish by desiring it as they realise the concept of ego and the ultimate truth. They can then control Hukam which allows them to command or order anyone on a divine level (far if not infinitely greater than Isitva which is absolute hypnosis) as they can control the concept of Maya, which is the ultimate illusion beyond all things as it is the divine will that causes the universe to ultimately function, that comes from the Lord known by the name of Waheguru as it is by His Command that we live and die, as without His Command, not even a leaf on a tree would fall as by His Command, we come and go in reincarnation. The user can then control the entirety of the universe through controlling this idea on any scale as the user becomes Waheguru Himself being beyond the concepts of truth and falsehood as they can then control the concepts of free will which is the ability to make choices irrespective of constraint or restriction which means the user inherently transcends these concepts by existing since Free Will is merely a byproduct of Hukam's Divine nature as the user can control any desires they want such as being able to control or create a clone of themselves without any restriction on what they want to do as they can destroy or restore the world using this concept that inherently transcends all manner of time and space with the user being able to control time and thus limits conceptually as they can control determinism alongside this control of free will which means they can essentially achieve whatever goal is needed to complete certain tasks as they control hurdles, difficulties and choices as concepts, each of which are universal ideas since they have complete control of Hukam which further allows them to control the divine essence of creation, which is a fraction of His Power and as all things are instruments of the user, where they attain complete freedom and self-conceptualisation and self-actualization at the highest levels possible as they then control the idea of the Supreme Being alongside them being able to control theology and reasoning as concepts, with them being able to create all things as they are one with the Divine Mystery that cannot be reached or penetrated by anything as they are beyond logic and understanding due to nothing being able to understand them as they can neither be proved nor denied alongside the concept of reason itself as they are fully self-realized in the Ultimate Reality that is God since with a word, all things were created including the millions of streams of existence as they are completely eternal and beyond all Vedic Gods as they are beyond all Forms and know about the date of creation’s origin, being Truth itself. In addition, they are beyond philosophy as His Light is beyond any forms of dualism as well as existence itself due to being omnipresent as the user becomes aware of the Reality of God due to being the literal Hukam itself, including their supreme control of language as they control Maya which further allows for control of hate and negative emotions with them bearing the names of “Ek Onkar, Satnam, Karta-Purakh, Nirbhau, Nirvair, Akal Murati, Ajuni, Saibhang, Guru Prasadi. Translated into English, this means: The One Supreme Being; Eternal Holy Reality; The Creator; Without Fear; Without Rancour; Timeless Form; Unborn; Self-Existent; Realized Through Divine Grace” meaning they embody each of these terms and can likely do whatever they will as they are timeless and eternal, transcending the Om completely as the Ik Onkar, according to Guru Nanak is “the transcendental, unattributed Absolute. In other words, it is that which is above all Existence, has no attributes, since these will limit its absoluteness and Eternity. Whenever he wills, He creates the vast universe; As He wills He is again EK Oankar. Ek Onkar here as elsewhere implies that Reality which is above and beyond all other existence. The next phrase, Satnam contains two terms. Sat (Satya) is both Real and Holy. Naam is a spiritual idea, which stands for the Essence, the Absolute Reality. It is not merely the name as is commonly believed, but that for which the name of God stands, that is, the Divine Essence. Karta Purakh: Karta is Kartar (Creator). The universe is fashioned by God and not by any deity. He is the Kartar, which is one of the commonly emphasized terms for God in Sikh belief. Purakh is the same Purusha (Male, this Mighty Eternal Creator). Purusha has come from the Rig Veda into Indian philosophy, and is one of the holiest words, as implying the Eternal Creator. Nirbhau (without fear) and Nirvair (without rancour) are two negative attributes, implying God’s absoluteness. Not being subject to any other being, and not being subject to need. He is fearless. Since He is the creator of all existence, He is without hate. He is all love, all benevolence”. Meaning they are transcendental, eternal and beyond all things as they can casually control Ik Onkar as they control reality on an absolute level, as they are seemingly God, without fear and negative attributes, being beyond all as the One Being. Furthermore, they are beyond any deity as they are Akal and any incarnation of God is not God since He is unborn without a doubt as they control mysteries and other negative concepts including emotions with God being Nirguna as the user becomes one with existence being eternally perfect as they hold all moral law in the universe as a mere iota of themselves as all God inspired heroes such as Rama or Arjuna are merely fractions of His Power and Command as they control ignorance (tamas), passion (rajas) and intellect (sattvas as they can evolve Maya) with God having no second or Lord as well as no parent as they are far beyond demons such as Ravana with them being the Absolute Reality since they bear the power of Brahma and they are able to bear the power of the transcendental being Para Brahman (the Brahman beyond thought) as they gain true enlightenment and then gain complete realization of their true self due to being the supreme Lord who is beyond all time, space and reality, thus meaning Hukam can beat anyone in fiction with ease or by willing that the enemy loses without a doubt.), Creation, Existence Erasure and Reality Warping (The user can then control the power of Shiva who transcends all things as his true form in the name of Mahadev is far beyond all concepts of destruction, as the Moon is completely beneath him alongside Krishna as he was given the task of absolute destruction by Waheguru Himself as he is beyond time and space as he transcends Nandi, ghosts and spirits since he can control Maya as well as Parvati without any effort as he can seal away the river Ganges without any effort in his hand, drinking the poison that existed on the milk ocean that predates creation, with the poison being beyond every other deity except Shiva as he casually absorbed it within himself, thus being able to poison concepts or other beings as well as being able to control the concept of destruction. Furthermore, the user can then control his power to somewhat understand the Mysteries of Waheguru as they can change anything and as they can control the concept of death and destruction on a universal level, as Mahadev could bind the Ganges with his hair alone, meaning he can bind anything without any effort as he is far beyond Brahma, with the user being endlessly beyond all three without any effort since they casually transcend ego due to being Waheguru Himself in physical form. They are able to call on the power of Brahma who originated the Vedas, attachment and desire as concepts with them being to destroy all the millions of Brahmas without much, if any effort as the Brahmas are fractions of the original Brahma, being able to control and create entire planetary systems without any effort. The user can then control the power of Vishnu who is fully described to be the One, True God, transcendentally Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent and Ruler of the Universes and all Spiritual Creations as the eternal, supremely blissful Supreme Lord, having created all things through simply breathing as well as creating Brahma from a navel flower with Brahma being unable to find his limits as Brahma created Shiva with the user being able to control this power of the Trimurti as Brahmas years equal roughly 4.32 billion years yet the Brahmas live for 311 trillion, 40 billion years and the period after the death of each Brahma is another 311 trillion and 40 billion years and thus, due to there being 7 Brahmas, this means that the user can control time on the scale of at least 622 trillion, 80 billion years between the years of every Brahma and due to the Vedas being 7 times older than them each, this means that the Vedas are 4 Quadrillion years old as the user controls all the Devas and the stone pantheon as Vishnu, Krishna and Shiva are merely names of Waheguru who is a name of God as He is the Creator of all, including air, water and fire that endlessly surpasses Vayu, Varuna and Shiva’s Third Eye as well as having created the Trimurti with a mere Word as the Trimurti act to His Will since an endless number of devotions cannot even be equivalent to One Name of His as neither can Shiva or Brahma can find His Limits since Waheguru is ever-lasting and ever-living with His order and Command causing Brahma to have a body, Shiva and Vishnu to be born, as well as Shiva becoming a yogi as God is the reason why Brahma even has the Vedas in the first place and for those who consider Shiva as God (according to Shaivism), they are simply unaware of the Supreme Primal God who is truly and eternally Omnipotent as Parvati and Lakshmi are a mere fraction of their respective deities as Vishnu is endlessly beyond Indra and the other members of the Trimurti at his full power being able to go beyond the concept of defeat, being infinitely below Waheguru, the creator of all.)
Attack Potency: At least Planetary (He scales above the Siddhi he controls including Isitva, which was described by Srila Prabhupada as "by the yoga-siddhi known as īśitā one can create and destroy an entire planet simply at will."[9] He would also scale above Bhumi who is the literal personification of the Earth in Vedic Cosmology and would also scale above the Navigraha or the Nine Planetary Systems which would include Rahu and Ketu, the Lunar and Solar Celestial bodies which were seen as "Shadow Planets" and would also scale above Jambudvipa) | Universal (In Guru Granth Sahib 13: “He established the earth, the sky and the air, the water of the oceans, fire and food. He created the moon, the stars and the sun, night and day and mountains; he blessed the trees with flowers and fruits. He created the gods, human beings and the seven seas; He established the three worlds”. In addition, the whole of the Universe is subject to the Hukam of the Creator God. Nothing ever happens without the Will of Waheguru; His Word is all pervasive and the sole source of all Creation; the Word created the universes and supports and sustains all things within them. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib further enlightens us that God’s Word turned into waves of light, rays of which are present in all creatures and all other parts of His creation.[10] This is consistent with a fundamental principle of physics that sound vibrations, when increased several fold, change into waves of light. This Essence / Naam / Shabad / Logus is formless, colorless, and featureless but, as said, is present in all creation. There is no plant, no creature, in what it is not. The Earth and other heavenly bodies exist because there is Naam in this universe and when God withdraws this Naam from this Universe, there are natural calamities (Parloh / Mahaparloh) all over the universe and this is the time that the universe perishes and all the living creatures perish. Being so, the Essence can’t be seen or visualised by the mind. We can see only the physical dimension of Reality in God’s Creation – mountains, plants, trees, creatures etc. Thus the Outer Shell of Reality holds us (the appearances delude us) and we cannot penetrate deeper to experience the all pervading Reality. The physical dimensions of Reality (the outer shell) is always in flux; it keeps changing. While birth, death, creation, destruction etc. occur in the physical dimensions of creation, the Essence, being Sat (Sat-Naam) never changes, it transcends space and time.[11]; he can also end the universe via the Third Eye) | Far Higher with the State of Brahman (The State of Brahman transcends everything mentioned above infinitely)
Speed: Immeasurable (Lord Indra and the Other Devtas are above the concepts of time, space and can be present in multiple Realms, universes and multiple Different Timelines at the same time which makes every one of them Nigh omnipresent with Speed being irrelevant conceptually and without even trying and concepts like time and speed are below them. Obviously, Ashoka would directly scale above every single Deva since he beat them when he was significantly weaker than his prime or elder self; Akal Purakh (Literally "timeless being that never dies) a Sikh name for God stands in Sikh religious literature for the Divine Being, i.e. God. Like Akal, Murati, it is composed of three units, (a=not/never; kal=dies/death/mortal/time; and purakh=person). The latter figures in the Mool Mantar or Mul Mantra, the preamble to Guru Nanak`s Japu, in conjunction with Karta (Creator), the whole expression implying the Creator Divine Person) | Omnipresent (According to Jainism, life is omnipresent with infinite beings including microorganisms pervading each and every part of the universe. Hence it may still be possible to avoid killing of gross animals, but it is impossible to avoid killing of subtle microorganisms in air and water, plant life and various types of insects that may be crushed by walking; Videhamukti automatically makes you one with Brahman, making you one with the universe)) | Omnipresent via the Ik Onkar (By writing 1 (One) in the beginning, it has been shown that Ekankar, God, who subsumes all forms in Him is only one (as opposed to the two or three of Christianity or Siva, Bhrama and Vishnu or the thousands of Hinduism). Ura, the first Gurmukhi letter, in the form of Oankar shows the world controlling power of that one Lord...)
Lifting Strength: Infinite (Ashoka can carry the Rajlok, the 14 realms of Jain cosmology with his hand) | Immeasurable (transcends numerical definitions which would include things like strength; the Ik Onkar is beyond all definition including strength)
Striking Strength: Boundless (He is a Tirthika and exists within the state of Moksha)
Durability: At least Planetary (Ashoka is far stronger than Hanuman who could eat the sun as a child and he also scales above every single avatar of Vishnu including Krishna or Rama, both of whom could affect the planet with the usages of their Astras. Should also inherently scale above every single warrior in the Mahabharata, Ramayana as well as every being, sage, deity, Asura, etc in Hinduism meaning he scales above the likes of Madhu and Kaitabha who could affect the three worlds) | At least Universal (Via Maya which is beyond non-duality, duality, time, space, etc; also scales above Vishnu in his highest form by virtue of scaling above all of his avatars who have survived the destruction of the entire cosmology or have feats of doing so. He scales above Ananta Shesha who will survive the end of the Kali Yuga.; He also survived having universes thrown at him.)
Stamina: Infinite
Range: Boundless (Existed in Moksha meaning he could affect all of Creation)
Standard Equipment: Khakkhara (was once a monk and has knowledge on how to use the staff with extreme accuracy)
Standard Equipment: |

Intelligence: Omniscient via Kevala Jnana | Incomprehensible as the Buddha transcends all dual notions of intelligence, even Perfectly Enlightened One, Highest Most Awakened Mind and Incomprehensible Gnosis are completely irrelevant unreality. All words are just words without meaning. Concepts like the non-created mind, the mind of non-disputation, nondefilement, non-binding, non-clinging, uncoveredness, and the non-indefinable mind, the mind of non-birth-and-death, non-greed, non-anger, non-ignorance, non-arrogance, non-defilement, nonillusion, non-suffering, the infinite mind, the large mind, the mind of the All-Void, the vacant mind, the non-vacant mind, the non-trained mind, the non-protected mind, the non-covered mind, the non-secular mind, the mind that is eternally in meditation, the ever-practising mind, the ever-emancipated mind, the mind that seeks non-recompense, the desireless mind, the mind that desires to do good, the non-speaking mind, the softened mind, the non-abiding mind, the unmolested [free, unrestricted] mind, the impermanence mind [mind aware of the impermanence of phenomena], the honest mind, the non-flattering mind, the mind of pure good and the mind that does not care for more or less [i.e. contented mind], the non-hard mind, the mind not of the common mortal, the non-sravaka mind, the non-pratyekabuddha mind, the good-knowing mind, the boundary-knowing mind [mind that knows that an existence has its own boundary line], the mind that knows the world of birth and death, the mind that knows the eternal world, the mind of the unmolested world are all merely Bodhisattva limitations with Ashoka attaining enlightenment after his death and according to the scholar Matsumoto Shiro, his omniscience is a part of enlightenment.
Weaknesses: None
Notable Abilities[]
He also gained the Dharma Wheel Eye (法輪の目, Hōrin no Me; Japanese for Eye of the Law) after attaining the Ajna Chakra (Sixth Chakra) and merging it with the Sahasrara Chakra (Seventh Chakra) which grants Siddhis (सिद्धि (達成), Tassei; Sanskrit for Fulfilment, Japanese for Accomplishment), 8 baseline powers that develop further with time. There are 8 baseline powers that develop further with time. They are:
1) (अणिमा (アニマ), Anima; Sanskrit and Hindi for Smaller than the Smallest; Japanese for Atomic) is the first Siddhi that allows Kento to make himself as small as he wants as well as go through surfaces and the sky unnoticed, effectively becoming intangible. Anima Siddhi - aka animadi siddhi, ability to perceive the microscopic world mudra: mahadeva mudra - mula bandha mudra (anal squeeze) and bahya kumbhaka (breath retention on the exhalation) on uddiyana bandha (tummy-tuck). This increases the jathara agni (digestive fire) and gives rise to animadi guna siddhi (desired quality of animadi siddhi) - statement: "I can become infinitely small and explore the quantum realm. Because the density in the body is changed, I can pass through solid objects. I am practically invisible."
2) (महिमा (栄光), Mahima; Sanskrit for Larger than the Largest, Japanese for Flourishing Glory) is the second Siddhi that allowed Kento to expand his size. In addition, he can even become large enough to traverse the land of India through the form known as Trivkrama (त्रिविक्रम (トリビクラム), Toribukuramu; Sanskrit for Three Steps) with him being able to increase the size of his limbs to increase their durability, power and range. He can also use Mahima to become clairvoyant and understand astronomy in all its aspects as well as access infinite potential through understanding one's inner strength. Mahima Siddhi - becoming infinitely large, having the ability to see the structures of the galaxies
3) (लघिमा, Laghima (ラグヒマ), Raguhima; Sanskrit for Lighter than the Lightest, Japanese for Flight) is the third Siddhi which allows Kento to make his body so light such that no-one can tell whether or not he is naturally able to fly. He is able to prevent (stopping) the wind with the pair of hands which gives one the capacity to make your body weightless, as described by Patanjali as “light as a cotton fibre”. Laghima is derived from the word ‘Laghu’ which means very small or light. When it is perfected, combined with the control of the five elements, it is stated to give the ability of self-driven flight. This ability does not alter the physical body, but instead changes the connection between the body and the outside laws of nature and can let him control antigravity, making attacks that should hit him go up, as he has "otherworldly control of the air" and Kento can use this to control souls by adapting to their properties, powers and original bodies. Laghima Siddhi - becoming weightless or lighter than air (caveat: in Alexandra David-Neel's account of her exploits in Tibet back in the 1920s, she recounts an adept who had to weigh down himself in chains because he has become so light, a gust of wind could blow him away)
4) (गरिमा, (品格), Garima; Sanskrit and Hindi for Heavier than the Heaviest, Japanese for Dignity) is the fourth Siddhi that allows for Kento to make his body as heavy as he wants without limitation; as well as having complete control of gravity and allowing for him to make those who can fly come down by force. Its also allows for him to control the idea of dignity and make someone question their respect as a combatant, thus weakening their will and increasing Kento's chance of winning. Despite this, its real nature lies in its ability to bring about a state of inner peace, mental clarity, and emotional balance. It is said to be the key to unlocking the mysteries of life and control over senses. Garima Siddhi - ability to become infinitely heavy and be immovable by anyone or anything. You could have the weight of a black hole and pierce the fabric of space and time itself!
5) (प्राप्ति, Prapti (実現), Prāputi; Sanskrit and Hindi for Manifestation of Desires, Japanese for Realise) is the fifth Siddhi that allows for Kento to have the ability to attain whatever he desires. This may include objects, knowledge, spiritual insights, and even experiences. Prapti can allow for the user (Kento, in this instance) to touch space or celestial bodies with their finger or accomplish feats such as having unlimited life-force, Kento can then control causality, view all hidden things similar to the Almighty, speak all languages, learn all things, possess all things regardless of where they are including abilities, control all possibilities and probabilities, teleport anywhere. Prapti Siddhi - instantaneously travel or be anywhere at will. This siddhi removes the limitations of space which separate two objects from each other. It is said one will even be able to touch the moon with one's finger (i.e. the limitation of distance is removed) (note: We are on the 3rd dimension according to some ancient texts. It is said that when we evolve into the 4 th dimension [out of 9], time becomes linear [no more past, present and future...just a singularity] and space is no longer defined by distance. Thus by inference, when we develop Prapti siddhi, we gain access to the 4th dimension)
6) (प्राकाम्य, Prakamya (プラカミヤ), Purakamiya; Sanskrit and Hindi for Irresistible Willpower, Japanese for Achievable) is the sixth Siddhi which allows Kento to possess such power as will never be frustrated in any desire where he can do or gain whatever his heart desires, such that his heart is never unsatisfied as one experiences any enjoyable object, either in this world or the next and that he can pervade everything. He could use it to do things like gain new powers or weapons. In addition, Kento can also gain Omniscience or Omnipresence if he willed it, perceive all futures and all things and gain clarity with regards to future events if he wanted; as well as making his will reality and making it so that his emotions have no limit. Prakamya Siddhi - ability to manifest desires or realize objects out of thin air (note: the sankalpa mudra helps in manifestation. By practising this mudra, the prakamya siddhi is developed)
7) (ईशित्व, Isitva (神性), Īshituva; Sanskrit and Hindi for Supremacy, Japanese for Faith in One's Divinity) is the seventh Siddhi where Kento can act freely even to create something wonderful or to annihilate anything at will and is also called the power of lordliness and is a siddhi that gives someone absolute control over everything. It allows a person (such as Kento) to transcend the laws of nature and hold sway over all other siddhis. For example, this siddhi allows someone to wilfully disconnect their soul from their body. The siddhi of Isitva is the achievement of rulership or becoming the Lord, which covers supremacy over creation and the capability to demolish as desired but the power of Isitva is not limited to just physical abilities. It also bestows upon its possessor the ability to control and manipulate their mental, emotional and spiritual states. This siddhi allows one to transcend the boundaries of ordinary human experience and reach a higher level of awareness and understanding. It is believed that with sufficient mastery over Isitva, one can gain access to divine knowledge and gain an understanding of the underlying unity in all things. He also had the following sub-powers of Isitva:
- He has the power of materialization, i.e. producing visible material things or invisible physical sensations (food, smell, colour, etc.) with a thought or with a glance.
- The power of physical transformation, e.g. transforming water into wine, iron into gold, etc
- (उसकी उपस्थिति (彼の姿), Rupanirumana; Sanskrit for Changing different forms and projecting entirely divergent images of oneself, Japanese for Appearance) where Kento could presumably change his form into virtually anything he wanted.
- (चित्तनिर्मना (チッタルマナ), Chitarumana; Sanskrit for power of creating different minds as variously effective means of gaining different perspectives and different means of knowledge and self-expression) where Kento learned how to use his ocular powers.
- (आत्मपन्तला (アトマルパンタラ), Atomarupantara; Sanskrit for transforming the physical, instinctual and mental aspects of personality into channels of expression for spiritual values, Japanese for Self-Transformation) allowed Kento to transform his mind, evolving it infinitely if he wanted.
- (समानान्तर पन्तला (パラルパンタラ), Pararupantara; Sanskrit for the ability to transform other people into what they essentially are, namely images of the Divine) which allows Kento to transform other beings.
- (युगसृति (ナヴァユガプラヴァルタナ), Navuayugapuravuarutana; Sanskrit for the ability to create a new order of civilization, a new era of cultural efflorescence, a new life style, a new system of values) is a sub-power of Isitva that allowed Kento to function as a figure of history or a person of destiny as he used the power of Isitva's control powers to dominate the world, becoming a legend; a myth.
- Isitva Siddhi - ability to create and destroy. Lordship over creation and annihilation (note: this means playing God. Can I trust myself not to use this against those who harmed me if I should ever develop it?)
8) (वशित्व, Vasitva (ヴァシトヴァ), Vuashitova; Sanskrit and Hindi for Self-Mastery, Japanese for Complete Control) is the eighth major Siddhi that allowed Ashoka to control all material elements, as well as the ability to have the capacity to direct living things and objects (both natural and synthetic), as well as one’s own and other people’s brains. In the siddhi of Vasitva, the person has the capability to make people comply with their desires and to manage wild creatures as the power of Vasitva Siddhi giving the person the ability to control and manipulate all aspects of the physical world with Ashoka using this to control India as its king. As a master, he gained insight into the true nature of reality and achieve liberation from the cycle of birth and death. He used this against Tatsuryuu to stop most of his Soul Flame-based attacks. Through this, Kento gained control over one's internal bodily organs, endocrine glands, energy centres, autonomic nervous system. This enormously increases one's power of resistance to disease, decay, and degenerative processes. One gains access to the secrets of rejuvenation and physical charm, vitality and longevity where he can destroy a person's body from the inside through forcibly degenerating their very being and soul.
- He also has the ability to control the mind and behaviour patterns of other people by projecting powerful suggestions into bioenergetic existence-field.
- (अलिदमन् (アリダマン), Aridaman; Sanskrit for the ability to subdue the savage impulse, wrathfulness and aggressiveness of other living beings, human or animal) is a sub-power of Vasitva which allowed him to subdue any opponent that holds any intent of aggression towards him with a glance.
- (आत्मसम्यमा (アトマサムヤマ), Atmasamyama; Sanskrit for Mastery over one's own instinctual drives and urges, passions and motivations, Japanese for Self-Control) with him being able to control his rage.
- Vasitva Siddhi - ability to control all 5 elements of nature (fire, air, ether, earth and water), and mind control such as hypnosis (note: ah, the fabled air bender)
9) Kama-avasayitva - complete satisfaction and freedom from desire (note: a life rooted in tapas [austerity] helps...when you only seek what is needed...nothing more)
There are also "Minor Siddhis" which are similar in scope but are not truly useful in a combative scenario and they're activated by his eye glowing.
9) (त्रिकालज्ञत्वम्, Trikālajñatvam (トリカーラヤットヴァム), Torikārayattovunamu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Knowing the past, present and future, Japanese for All of Time) which allows him to see the past, present and future; although unlike Ashoka, he cannot see all futures and cannot change them, however he can change his own future briefly as well as see things up to and presumably after his own death. To show this, white flames appear in each of his spokes; determining whether or not this is being used.
10) (अग्रिमम्, Advandvam (アドバンスアム), Adobandbamu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Tolerance of heat, cold and other dualities, Japanese for Elemental Immunity) allows him to be immune to powers related to the elements.
11) (पर चित्त आदि अभिज्ञाता, Para citta ādi abhijñatā (パラ・チッタ・アーディ・アビジュニャーター), Para chitta ādi abijunyātā; Sanskrit and Hindi for Knowing the minds of others, Japanese for Telepathy) allowed Kento to be able to read minds.
12) (अग्नि अर्क अम्बु वीरा आदिनाम् प्रथितु तम्बाहा, Agni arka ambu viṣa ādīnām pratiṣṭambhaḥ (アグニ・アルカ・アンブ・ヴィーラ・アーディナーム・プラティトゥ・タンバハ), Aguni aruka anbu visha ādināmu puratishutanbaha; Sanskrit and Hindi for Checking the influence of fire, sun, water, poison, Japanese for Elemental Understanding) is the evolved form of Advandvam where any elemental attacks can become detected and theore nullified with him using this against Tatsuryuu, nullifying his respective usages of poison, flames and Soul Flame respectively.
13) (अपराजेय, Aparājayah (アパーラジャヤ), Apārajaya; Sanskrit and Hindi for Unconquerable, Japanese for Invincibility) allows Kento to become effectively invincible by manifesting what seems to be darkened energy around his being that makes him invulnerable to damage except those on the level of Tatsuryuu or if they have knowledge of the soul. However, if he wanted to, he could keep this on virtually forever.
14) (अनूर्मिमत्वम्, Anūrmimattvam (アヌルミマトヴァム), Anurumimatovuamu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Being undisturbed by human desires, Japanese for Lack of Disturbance) allowed Kento to be immune to things like thirst or drainage with him lacking any human constraints such as stamina, etc.
15) (दूरश्रवण, Dūraśravaṇa (遠隔ヒアリング), Dūrashuravana; Sanskrit and Hindi for Hearing things far away, Japanese for Remote hearing) allowed Ashoka to hear all things.
16) (दूरदर्शनम्, Dūradarśanam (ドアダルシャナム), Doadarushanamu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Seeing things far away, Japanese for Telescopic Sight) allows him to see all things and amplifies his Jougan's innate powers of telescopic sight to the absolute peak.
17) (मनोजव, Manojavah (マノジャブ), Manojabu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Moving the body wherever thought goes, Japanese for Teleportation) allows Kento to teleport anywhere as long as he thinks including different dimensions such as the Cursed Realm.
18) (कामरूपम्, Kāmarūpam (カマルパム), Kamarupamu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Assuming any form desired, Japanese for Shapeshifting) allowed him to shapeshift.
19) (परकायाप्रवेशनम्, Parakāya praveśanam (パラカヤプラベシャナム), Parakayapuravueshanamu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Entering the bodies of others, Japanese for Possession) allowed Kento to possess a person, control their soul and animate their body, giving them his powers.
20) (स्वछन्द मृत्यु, Svachanda mṛtyuh (彼自身の自由意志による死), Suvachandu Mirutyu; Sanskrit and Hindi for Dying when one desires, Japanese for Death by one's will) allowed to be completely immortal and not die until he wills it. Despite being "reincarnated", he was seen to be immortal.

From the Buddhist point of view, heavens are the heaven realm, and they are still in the Six Realms of reincarnation, not free from the Three Worlds and Six Realms of reincarnation. Although the heavens are more joyful than our world, and the blessings their people enjoy are better than ours, the sublime surely falls, and one day when their blessings are exhausted, they will still fall into the three evil realms. While the pure lands of the Buddhalands, such as the pure land of Medicine Lapis Light and the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, these pure lands are out of the circle of the Six Realms of reincarnation and have completely bid farewell to the cycle of birth and death. The difference is huge, and they are completely different. In Christianity, their highest state is to ascend to heaven and enter the kingdom of heaven for enjoyment, but no matter how powerful you are, you will never be God, you will never become an almighty God, and you can only be a child of God. They don't know about this ascension, and they think there is only one heaven and only one God. Their God, from the Buddhist point of view, is the god of the Trayastrimsa of thirty-three heavens. In fact, according to Buddhism, there are too many gods, too many to count. Fellow practitioners, Buddhism has "Great Thousand World with Triple Thousand Worlds". One unit is one world, and there is one Trayastrimsa in each unit world. In one "Great Thousand World with Triple Thousand Worlds", how many Trayastrimsa gods are there? I tell you fellow practitioners, too many to count. There are so many gods, which one do you want to go to? If you really want to go, I can tell you responsibly that you will definitely have choice syndrome and difficulty in making choices. It should be pointed out that the lifespan of Trayastrimsa devas is indeed much longer than that of our human beings, and their blessings are much greater, but there is still an end. According to the teachings and calculations of Buddhist scriptures, Trayastrimsa devas' one day is one hundred years in our world. Their one day is our one hundred years. The lifespan of Trayastrimsa devas is 1,000 years. If we calculate in this way, it is equivalent to about 36 million years in our world. I tell you fellow practitioners that no matter how long the lifespan of a deva is, there will be an end. When it comes to the end, the deva will fall into the three evil realms and continue to suffer the pain of the Six Realms of reincarnation. How can this be called an "eternal life"? It's not an "eternal life". However, if you are reborn in the pure lands of the Buddhalands, if you are reborn in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, then this is the real "eternal life". You will be free from the suffering of the cycle of birth and death forever. You can get rid of birth and death, get rid of suffering and gain happiness, be able to achieve in one lifetime, and achieve Bodhi right away. This is not fake at all. This is the difference between the pure lands of Buddhalands and heavens. There is a world of difference between the two. As Buddhist disciples, we must understand the interest involved. One is in the Three Worlds and Six Realms of reincarnation, and the other is beyond. So, please don't confuse the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss with heavens.
Siddhis are a tall claim, especially the ones that are bigger than life - defy aging or even death. Why? Because all these sages, yogis and ascendant masters aged and died. Are siddhis real? From a personal perspective, yes, they do exist to a point where they are still within human range - increased articulation, clearer-faster-sharper-expansive thinking, resilience to disease, delayed aging, increased strength, synchronicities, exorcising your demons, etc. These enhancements come with deepened practice. But I haven't met anyone with superhuman abilities. Even if there are those who possess these magical gifts, I don't think they'd like to come out in the open. For one thing, it diverts their practice because public adulation will be intoxicating. Secondly, people regard them as not-normal - they lose their boy-next-door accessibility. People will hound them for whatever needs they have.
Personally, I toyed with the idea of having these supernatural gifts. But what would I do with them? If I had the ability to reverse Çovid, would I? Perhaps not. I see these things as karmic episodes that need to happen for a purpose beyond my limited comprehension. Who am I to get in the way?
Candidly though, if I do develop a siddhi, I would like it to be an animadi (to be infinitely small) so I can take the size of a photon. Another siddhi I'd like is prapti (traveling at the speed of thought) so I can travel at the speed of light, like that of a photon. This is my burning desire. Why? Because photons are quantum-sized particles traveling at the speed of light. It's not so much the speed per se, but how time and space warp at that speed. Time slows down (time dilation) as you near the speed of light. But at the speed of light, time itself stops - you are not leaving the past behind and you are not approaching the future. Both past and future are contained in the present. Science claims that all 3 elements of time are a singularity. But our minds cannot comprehend that because we experience time as linear - leaving the past, experiencing the present and heading into the future. But as a photon, you actually experience the singularity of time. I find this more fascinating than walking on water. And if I ever develop that siddhi, my lips will be sealed.

You are the extirpator of all pairs of contraries (such as joy and sorrow, birth and death, attraction and repulsion,etc.) and deliver from them. Glory to you, O son of Shambhu and delight of Gauri, you are the destroyer of all obstacles and deliverer of all from the cycle of birth and death. Glory to you, O leader of Shiva's henchmen, bestower of happiness on all your votaries, teacher of all,and operator of the intellect! O Ganesha (Vakratunda), resplendent is the only tusk which you have on your elephant face and well-adorned is your sacred trunk; the crescent-shaped triple mark on your forehead is as beautiful as the moon, and the celestials, men and ascetics who behold your loveliness cannot off its spell. On your bosom is a garland of jewels, in your eyes the beauty of the full-blown lotus and on your head a crown of gems. You deliver your devotees from anxiety and wield a sacred axe and a beautiful trident in your hands. Sweet laddus among delicacies and fragrant blossoms among flowers are your favourites. Blessed are you, O, Kaartikeya's brother and beloved son of Shiva and Gauri; elegantly attired in a beautiful yellow silken dress and wearing a pair of wooden sandals all studded with gems on your feet, you are the source of all the blessings of the world. Both prosperity and accomplishment wave royal whisks (chowries) over you (as if they were chowrie-burdars) and your vehicle, the mouse, adds to your splendour at your door. As the story of your life is so strange and mysterious, who can venture to describe your magnificence, which passes all telling? A demon, disguised as Shiva, often came there to delude Gauri in order to foil his design, Gauri, the beloved consort of Shiva created a divine form from the scurf of her body. Asking her son to keep watch, she stationed him at the palace-door like a doorkeeper. When Shiva himself came there, he, being unrecognised was denied entrance into the house. Shiva asked: Tell me, who is your father? In a voice sweet as honey, you replied, Hearken, sir, I am Gauri's son; don't you dare advance even a step beyond this point. "O Sir! Let me take my mother's permission before I allow you to go inside; wrangling with a mere stripling like me will be of no avail." Not listening to your behest, Shivaat tempted to rush towards the house, which so vexed you that you, waxing furious, threw the gauntlet down. In a fit of rage, Shiva picked up his trident and driven by delusion hurled it on you. Your head, tender like the Shirisa flower was severed and instantly it soared into the sky and disappeared there. When Shiva went happily inside where Gauri, daughter of the Mountain king was sitting, he smilingly asked, Tell me, Sati how did you give birth to son? On hearing the whole episode, the mystery cleared. Gauri, though daughter of the great mountain King (celebrated for immobility) was so moved and distraught that she fell to the ground and said, "You have done me a great disfavour, my Lord; Now go and fetch the severed head of my son from wherever you find it! "Shiva, expert in all skills, took his departure accompanied by Vishnu, but having failed to find the head, they brought one of an elephant and placed it upon the trunk and breathed life into it. It was Lord Shiva who named you Shri Ganesha and blessed you with knowledge, wisdom and immortality. You are O Lord, the first among those who are worshipped; you bring joy to the faithful, destroy all obstructions and cause the operation of the intellect. Whosoever remembers you before embarking on any mission finds all his tasks accomplished in the world. The very remembrance of your name brings all happiness without your all-pardoning grace there is no security and well being anywhere in the world. Cursed by you, the moon's face was tarnished with the black reflection of the earth as it appears on the fourth day in the bright half of Bhaadrapada (Bhaado), which none would dare to look at. When Shiva wanted to test you (your might and intelligence) he asked you to circumnavigate the earth. While Sadmukha (your brother Kaartikeya) went flying on his peacock, you adopted an easier course) without budging, you scribbled the name of Raama on the ground and abandoning all misgivings, circumnavigated it. (With utmost devotion) you clasped the feet of your parents and circumnavigated them seven times. Thus were you rewarded with the fruit of having circumnavigated the earth, a feat that made the gods rain down flowers on you. While dwelling in the hermitage of the sage Durvasa, Sundardaasa, a devotee of Raama, composed this hymn to Ganesha in forty verses just as the foremost among the adepts in the Shiva Purana had done.The wise who hymn the glory of Ganesha every day are blessed with supreme bliss. The lord of Shiva's henchmen who blesses his votaries with wealth, progeny and happiness also bestows upon them every auspicious object))." Ashoka initially said, immediately healing him from all things negative. "Om Bhur Bhuva Swaha Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat (O Three Worlds (Trimurti), the Source of all Creation, Divine Light of Surya, O Effulgent One, Guide Me to the End))

They should regard the Supreme Lord as the only reality and the world as insubstantial. Having discovered the truth may the devout hold the mystical syllable Om, which symbolizes Brahma, in their hearts, for that would lead to self-realization and salvation. When the flowers of peace and goodwill bloom in the heart, the devotees are blessed with the fruit of these forty verses and the Lord becomes favourable to them. To him who reads Vishnu Chalisa once everyday the lord of Dwarka (Krishna) provides all the four rewards ( Dharma (ethical perfection), artha (wealth), Kama (sensual delights) and Moksha (final

Ayodha Dass (the composer of these verses) humbly requests that every one be blessed with the boon of being fearless. O Glorious Lord, consort of Parvati You are most merciful . You always bless the poor and pious devotees. Your beautiful form is adorned with the moon on Your forehead and on your ears are earrings of snakes' hood. The holy Ganges flows from your matted hair. The saints and sages are attracted by Your splendid appearance. Around Your neck is a garland of skulls. White ash beautifies Your Divine form and clothing of lion's skin adorns Your body. O Lord, the beloved daughter of Maina on Your left adds to Your splendid appearance. O Wearer of the lion's skin, the trishul in Your hand destroys all enemies. Nandi and Shri Ganesh along with Lord Shiva appear as beautiful as two lotuses in the middle of an ocean.Poets and philosophers cannot describe the wonderful appearance of Lord Kartikeya and the dark complexioned Ganas (attendants). O Lord, whenever the Deities humbly sought Your assistance, You kindly and graciously uprooted all their problems. You blessed the Deities with Your generous help when the demon Tarak outraged them and You destroyed him. O Lord, You sent Shadanan without delay and thus destroyed the evil ones Lava and Nimesh. You also destroyed the demon Jalandhara. Your renown is known throughout the world. O Lord, Purari, You saved all Deities and mankind by defeating and destroying the demons Tripurasura. You blessed Your devotee Bhagirath and he was able to accomplish his vow after rigorous penance. O Gracious One, devotees always sing Your glory. Even the Vedas are unable to describe Your greatness. No one is as generous as You. Lord, when the ocean was churned and the deadly poison emerged, out of Your deep compassion for all, You drank the poison and saved the world from destruction. Your throat became blue, thus You are known as Nilakantha. When Lord Rama worshipped You, He became victorious over the king of demons, Ravan. When Lord Rama wished to worship Thee with one thousand lotus flowers, the Divine Mother, to test the devotion of Shri Ram, hid all the flowers at Your request. O Lord, You kept on looking at Shri Ram, who wished to offer His lotus-like eyes to worship Thee. When You observed such intense devotion, You were delighted and blessed Him. You granted His heart's desire. Glory be unto You O Gracious, Infinite, Immortal, All-pervading Lord. Evil thoughts torture me and I keep on travelling aimlessly in this world of mundane existence. No relief seems to be coming my way. O Lord! I beseech Your help and seel your divine blessing at this very moment. Save and protect me. Destroy my enemies with Your Trishul. Release me from the torture of evil thoughts. O Lord, when I am in distress, neither my parents, brothers, sisters nor loved ones can relieve my suffering. I depend only on You. You are my hpe. Eliminate the cause of this tremendous torture and bless me with Your compassion. O Lord, You bless the down-trodden with prosperity and grant wisdom to the ignorant. Lord, due to my limited knowledge, I omitted to worship Thee. Please forgive me and shower Your grace upon me. O Lord Sankar, You are the destroyer of all miseries. You remove the cause of all obstacles and grant Your devotees eternal bliss. The saints ans sages meditate upon Thy most beautiful form. Even celestial beings like Sharad and Narad bow in reverence to You. O Lord, prostrations to You. Even Brahma is unable to describe Thy greatness. Whosoever recites these verses with faith and devotion receives Your infinite blessings. Devotees who chant these verses with intense love become prosperous by the grace of Lord Shiva. Even the childless wishing to have children, have their desires fulfilled after partaking of Shiva-prasad with faith and devotion. On Trayodashi (13th day of the dark and bright fortnights) one should invite a pandit and devotely make offerings to Lord Shiva. Those who fast and pray to Lord Shiva on Trayodashi are always healthy and prosperous. Whosoever offers incense, prasad and performs arti to Lord Shiva, with love and devotion, enjoys material happiness and spiritual bliss in this world and hereafter ascends to the abode of Lord Shiva. The poet prays that Lord Shiva removed the suffering of all and grants them eternal bliss. O Universal Lord, every morning as a rule I recite this Chalisa with devotion. Please bless me so that I may be able to accomplish my material and spiritual desires)
