A ferocious asura.

Birth and acquisition of boons.

Mura was the asura born to Ka艣yapapraj膩pati of his wife Danu. Once Mura was shocked to find the huge heap of dead bodies of the asuras killed by the devas. Mura got afraid of death and did penance for years to propitiate his grandfather and 叠谤补丑尘腻 appeared before him and asked him to name the boon he wanted. Mura said "Lord, anybody whom I touch with my hands in a battle, even if they are immortal, should die." 叠谤补丑尘腻 the father of the universe granted him the boon. (Chapter 60, V膩mana Pur膩峁嘺).

Family life.

Mura became the guard of the boundaries of 笔谤腻驳箩测辞迟颈峁�a, the capital city of 狈补谤补办腻蝉耻谤补. Mura begot four thousand sons. Of these ten were posted to guard the palace of the queens. Mura performed penance and obtained boons. He fenced the boundary of 笔谤腻驳箩测辞迟颈峁�a with six thousand ropes and arrested the approach of the enemies. These ropes were known in 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 as the Mauravap膩艣as. (Chapter 38, 顿腻办峁�i峁嚹乼测补 笔腻峁环补, 厂补产丑腻 Parva).

Digvijaya.

(Conquest of the quarters). Mura who became arrogant by the power of the boons he possessed went to 惭补丑腻尘别谤耻 and challenged the 驰补办峁�a蝉 and Gandharvas to a fight. But none dared to fight with him. Then he went to 础尘补谤腻惫补迟墨 and challenged Indra. Indra also did not accept the challenge. Then he entered 础尘补谤腻惫补迟墨 with a raised hand. Nobody stopped him. Going to the palace of Indra he said "Oh, thousandeyed deva, fight with me or leave this place". On hearing it Indra left his place and came to earth. Then Mura took possession of 础颈谤腻惫补迟补 and Vajra. He lived in devaloka with Maya, 罢腻谤补 and other 诲腻苍补惫补蝉 enjoying the luxuries there. Along with his wife, son and other devas Devendra established himself on the southern bank of 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 river.

Then one day 惭耻谤腻蝉耻谤补 came to the earth on the 础颈谤腻惫补迟补 and landed at a place on the banks of the river 厂补谤补测奴 where Raghu a king of the solar dynasty was conducting a y膩ga. 惭耻谤腻蝉耻谤补 went to Raghu and said "Come on, fight with me or you should stop this y膩ga. You should not worship the devas." Then the great and brilliant Maitr膩varu峁噄 sage, 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补 told him, "Daitya, what use is there in conquering men of the earth? You should win against those who are never defeated. If you want to fight go and challenge Antaka, the god of Death. Oh, King of asuras, that boy of an Antaka would never obey your orders. If you conquer him you will have defeated all the world."

On hearing the words of 痴补蝉颈峁ａ弓丑补, Mura started to fight 顿丑补谤尘补谤腻箩补. Yama on hearing that Mura was coming to fight him went to 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 on his buffalo as he knew he could kill him. 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 asked him to send Mura to him. Yama returned to his place to see Mura there ready to fight. Yama told him that he would do whatever Mura ordered him and then Mura said "You should stop killing people or I will chop your head off." 顿丑补谤尘补谤腻箩补 replied "Mura, if you had been the person who had appointed me for this job I would have willingly followed your instructions. But I am under the control of somebody else." Mura asked "Who is the person superior to you? Tell me, I shall surely defeat him." Yama said "There is an individual called 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 holding a Cakra and a 骋补诲腻 in his hands living in 艢惫别迟补诲惫墨辫补. He is the person who has appointed me." Mura anxiously asked "Where is his abode? I shall go there myself to conquer him." Antaka replied "You go to the ocean of Milk. It is there that 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, the omnipresent protector of the universe is residing." Mura said "Well, I am going to him. But you should in the meantime discontinue your work of killing people." Yama replied "Go and win him. If you defeat him I shall abide by your instructions."

Mura went to fight 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. It was at this time that 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 the incarnation of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 attacked the capital city of 狈补谤补办腻蝉耻谤补, 笔谤腻驳箩测辞迟颈峁�a. Mura went to the help of 狈补谤补办腻蝉耻谤补. The boundary of the city was well-fenced with ropes but 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 cut them all and removed the barrier. In the fight that ensued both 狈补谤补办腻蝉耻谤补 and Mura were killed by the celebrated weapon 厂耻诲补谤艣补苍补 of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. From then 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 got the name of Muramathana. (10th Skandha, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).
