________________ Asurakumāra A town mentioned in the illustration of Asivovadduya (Ašivopadruta) three bhūtavādikas.1 1. Utts. p. 51. Asivovasamaņi or Asivovasami (Ašivopašamani) A bhert (kettle-drum) possessed by Văsudeva(2) Kaņha(1). It was made of gośırşa (sandal-wood). One who heard its sound, was bound to get cured of diseases within a period of six months. Once a god did not believe Sakka(3) saying that a Vasudeva(1) always admires merits and never indulges in an indecent battle. Disguising himself as a dead dog emitting filthy smell, the god lay down on the path. As Kanha passed thereby, he did not get disturbed by that smell but praised the bright teeth of the dog. At this the god acknowledged the first merit of a Vásudeva. Thereafter he stole the horse of Kanha. The sons of Kanha fought with the god to recover the horse but got defeated. Thereupon the god proposed to fight with Kanha. The latter accepted the challenge, but as soon as he knew that the god wanted an indecent battle, he declined to fight without caring much for the loss of the horse. The god was very much pleased. He acknowledged the second merit of a Vāsudeva and presented the Asivovasamaņi drum to Kanha. 2 1. BrhBh. 356, AvaH. p. 98. 2. BrhM. p. 106, AvaH. p. 98. A park of Tosali(1).
