Hindu Mythology

The colorful deities and demons of India...

HIRANYÂKSHA

Hindu Demon

Another Demon with exactly the same immunity clause as Hiranyakashipu

The news obviously hadn’t got around about the claw-back clause. This time Vishnu changed himself into a boar, just in time to stop the demon from dragging the whole world into the primordial ocean.

Tsk tsk and tusk tusk — another defunct demon.
