If you are refering to Asuras, demon isn't quite the right word. They are more like a rival (losing) clan of Gods like the Greek Titans. Some of them (i.e. Prahlad, Bali) were quite benevolent. I'm content to cede demons to the Westerners :-) -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/
