Tell me of the righteousness of the devas and the monstrousness of the asuras. Which are demons? and which are gods? Both were cursed for pride and ugliness. Both came together to mix the milk of the sea. The demons were deceived like the workers of the slums; hard work did not yield power and a share of good, sweet fortune. From both can we learn, and neither should we dismiss. The gods chose foul play even though it is the demons’ nature that is said to be hellish.
