Thus, in Satya Yuga there was a demon named Mahishasura, Mahishasura was the son of a demon named Ramva. He was born proud of a buffalo, so he could be both a buffalo and a man. Mahishasura was a great devotee of Lord Vrama. Mahishasura did severe penance to Vrama and was pleased with the penance. Vrama gave a vision to Mahishasura and said, "I am very pleased with your penance." After that, Vrama said that it is impossible if there is birth, death is also certain to ask for a boon, Mahishasura thought and said, O Lord, please give me a boon that no man or god can kill, Vrama heard this. said Tahastu. After receiving such a boon, Mahishasura was very happy and started misusing his boon, he started causing suffering to everyone, the rich and gods in heaven as well as the earth were terrified, the gods could not do anything in front of his boon, Mahishasura started to rule in heaven as well.
Mahishasura is a bovine asura in Hinduism. He's depicted in literature to be a deceitful demon who pursued his evil ways by shape- shifting. Mahishasura was the son of Mahisi( Buffalo) and the great- grandson of Brahmarshi Kashyapa. He was eventually killed by goddess Durga with her trishula( javelin) after which she gained the epithet Mahishasuramardini(" Slayer of Mahishasura").
The Navaratri(" Nine Nights") jubilee eulogises this battle between Mahishasura and Durga, climaxing in Vijaya Dasami, a festivity of his ultimate defeat. This story of the" triumph of good over wrong" carries profound symbolism in Hinduism, particularly Shaktism, and is both recited as well as reenacted from the Devi Mahatmya at numerous South and Southeast Asian Hindu tabernacles.

यसरी सत्ययुगमा महिषासुर नामक राक्षस थियो, महिषासुर रामव नामक राक्षसका पुत्र थिए। उसलाई भैंसीमा गर्व भएको थियो, त्यसैले ऊ भैंसी र मानिस दुवै हुन सक्छ। महिषासुर भगवान व्रमका परम भक्त थिए। महिषासुरले व्रमको कठोर तपस्या गरे र तपस्याबाट प्रसन्न भए। व्रामले महिषासुरलाई दर्शन दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, "म तिम्रो तपस्याबाट धेरै प्रसन्न छु।" त्यसपछि वृमाले भने कि जन्म भए असम्भव छ, मृत्यु पनि निश्चित छ वरदान माग्न महिषासुरले सोचे र भने, हे भगवान, मलाई कुनै मानिस वा देवताले मार्न नसक्ने वरदान दिनुहोस्, यो कुरा ब्रमाले सुनेर तथास्तु भन्नुभयो। यस्तो वरदान पाएपछि महिषासुर निकै खुसी भए र आफ्नो वरदानको दुरुपयोग गर्न थाले, सबैलाई दुःख दिन थाले, स्वर्गका धनी र देवताहरू पनि डराए, महिषासुरको वरदानको अगाडि देवताहरूले केही गर्न सकेनन् । स्वर्गमा पनि शासन गर्न थाले।
महिषासुर हिन्दू धर्ममा एक गोवाइन असुर हो। उहाँलाई साहित्यमा एक छलपूर्ण राक्षसको रूपमा चित्रण गरिएको छ जसले आकार परिवर्तन गरेर आफ्नो दुष्ट मार्गहरू पछ्यायो। महिषासुर महिसी (भैंस) का छोरा र ब्रह्मर्षि कश्यपका नाति थिए। उनको अन्ततः देवी दुर्गाले उनको त्रिशूला (भाला) द्वारा हत्या गरिन् जसबाट उनले महिषासुरमर्दिनी ("महिषासुरको हत्या गर्ने") उपाधि प्राप्त गरे।
नवरात्रि ("नौ रात") जयन्तीले महिषासुर र दुर्गा बीचको यो युद्धको प्रशंसा गर्दछ, विजया दशमीमा चरमोत्कर्षमा, उनको अन्तिम हारको उत्सव हो। "गलतमाथि राम्रोको विजय" को यो कथाले हिन्दू धर्म, विशेष गरी शक्तिवादमा गहिरो प्रतीकात्मकता बोकेको छ, र धेरै दक्षिण र दक्षिणपूर्व एशियाली हिन्दू पालहरूमा देवी महात्म्यबाट पठन र पुन: प्रस्तुत गरिएको छ।
