has gloss | eng: In Hindu mythology Bhasmasura was an Asura or demon who, after praying to Lord Shiva received a boon. Bhasmasura asked that he be granted the power that anyone whose head he touched with his hand should burn up and immediately turn into ashes (bhasma). Siva granted this request, but Bhasmasura thereupon attempted to touch the head of Siva with his hand. Siva fled, and was chased by Bhasmasura. Wherever Shiva went, Bhasmasura chased him. Somehow, Lord Shiva managed to reach Lord Vishnu to seek a solution to this predicament. Lord Vishnu on hearing Shiva's problem, agreed to help him out. |

has gloss | spa: En el marco de la mitología hindú Bhasma Asura era un asura (‘no divino’, demonio) devoto del dios Shivá. * भस्मासुर, en escritura devánagari. * bhasmāsura, en el sistema IAST de transliteración. El gigante estaba enamorado de la diosa Párvati (la esposa del dios Shivá), por lo que propició al dios para conseguir un poder mortífero. Realizó austeridades repitiendo continuamente el mantra shivá. Finalmente el vanidoso dios se apareció ante él y le dio el privilegio de reducir a cenizas a todos aquellos sobre cuya cabeza pusiera su mano. (Justamente bhasma significa ‘ceniza’). |
