In the city of the [[Daitya|daityas]], there lived a powerful [[asura]] named [[Arunasura|Aruna]]. He despised the [[Deva (Hinduism)|devas]], and sought above all else to conquer these deities. He went to the banks of the [[Ganges]] in the Himalayas, and practiced a very strict penance to [[Brahma]], believing him to be the protector of the daityas.

==Legend伝承 ==『デーヴィ・バガヴァタ・プラーナ』の第10巻第13章には、女神ブラーマリーの功績が詳しく記録されている<ref>The Devi Bhagavatam: The Tenth Book: Chapter 13 |, http://sacred-texts.com/hin/db/bk10ch13.htm#page_1046, 2016-03-26</ref>。 ダイティヤの街に、'''アルナ'''という名の強力なアスラが住んでいた。彼はデーヴァを軽蔑し、何よりも神々を征服することを望んでいた。彼はヒマラヤ山脈のガンジス川のほとりに赴き、ブラフマー神をダイティヤの守護神と信じ、 厳しい苦行を行った。 ブラフマーは、アルナスラの苦行と決意を見て、いかなる戦争、武器、男でも女でも、二足歩行や四足歩行の生き物でも、あるいはその両者の組み合わせでも死なないという恩恵を彼に授けるのがふさわしいと考えた。この恩恵により、アルナスラは冥界に住む他のすべてのダイティヤを召集し、天上の神々と最後の戦いを戦う自信を得た。
Observing his penance and resolve, Brahma saw fit to bless Arunasura with the boon of not meeting his end at any war, nor by any arms or weapons, nor by any man or any woman, by any biped or quadruped creature, or any combination of the two. This blessing gave Arunasura the confidence to call on all the other daityas living in the nether regions and fight a final battle with the deities above. The daityas saluted him as their king. By his command, they sent messengers to [[Devaloka]] to signal their intent. Upon hearing the news, [[Indra]] trembled with fear, and went instantly with the deities to the abode of Brahma. After discussing the situation with Brahma, they went to the [[Vaikunth|Vaikuntha]] to recruit [[Vishnu]]. There, they all held a conference on how to kill the daitya who sought to overthrow them.
