The Tale of Sunda and Upasunda

Once upon a time, in a land cast in shadow, lived two demon brothers named Sunda and Upasunda. These brothers were not ordinary; they wielded terrible strength and endurance that struck fear into the three worlds. They were ambitious, vowing to conquer all realms, and for this, they embarked on the most arduous and horrifying penances. Their austerity did not go unnoticed, for it drew the attention of the mighty Lord Siva himself.

In a clearing shrouded by the mists of power, Siva appeared amidst a glorious light, with his consort, the goddess Parvati, whose beauty was unmatched across the lands and heavens. Sunda and Upasunda, mesmerized by her charm, had their wicked hearts ensnared. Forgetting their initial quest for power, their desire shifted to possess the beautiful Parvati.

With their senses clouded by longing, they boldly asked Siva to bestow upon them his very consort. Bound by his promise to grant a wish for their penances, Siva agreed, but this act set a chain of events into motion that would seal the brothers’ fate.

The demons, lost in their greed, could not decide who should claim the enchanting Parvati as a wife. They encountered a stranger of formidable aura and captivating allure, passing through the lands. This stranger, bearing a smile that hid the wisdom of ages, was none other than Sri Krishna, sent by the distressed Devas to save Parvati from the brother’s clasp.

Krishna, seeing the demons’ dilemma, proclaimed, “You two must duel until one prevails! To the victor shall go the divine lady.” The advice, though sounding fair, was a clever ruse to end their reign of terror.

The brothers, fueled by both desire and rage, clashed with such demonic power that the earth trembled. Equal in might, they fought with a fury that only beings of darkness could summon. Alas, their battle was their undoing; each brother’s strength was the death of the other.

Thus ended the tale of Sunda and Upasunda, brought down by their own hands, and Parvati was freed from their vile grasp, sparing the worlds from their dominion.
