Asipatradhanu

Published: 03.08.2016

One of the fifteen types of Paramādhārmika Deva (a type of Asurakumāra Deva (a kind of Mansion dwelling god) who inflict pain to the infernal beings);

those Asura Devas (demons), who shatter and cut down ears, lips, nose, hands, legs, teeth, breasts, buttocks, thighs and arms of the infernal beings; they, through their protean power, create the forest of the asipatras (the trees with the leaves which are like sword) and storm; when the infernal beings, with a desire to sit under the shade, sit under those trees, the sharp leaves fall on them and the infernal being are mutilated.
