3. Sambhava Khandam - The Rise of Surapanman

Sambhava Khandam - The Rise of Surapanman

 Many yugas went by when Lord Shiva sat under the banyan tree as Dakshinamoorthy. During this time great changes took place in the devaloka. 
An asura named Surapanman had gained great boons from Lord Shiva by doing intense austereties. With the powers gained from the boons, Surapanman defeated Indira(Indira was the king of devaloka). The son of Surapanman, Banugopan imprisoned all the devas and saints. Indiras son Jayanthan was also imprisoned. Surapanman grew more and more torturous day by day.
 Surapanman was the son of Maya. Maya was born to Asurendran and Mangala Kesi.

Maya is born to Asurendran and Mangala Kesi.

 After coming of age Maya goes and seeks advice from sage sukracharya on expanding her race.

   Sage Sukracharya advices her to go and marry sage Kashyapa. Children born to them would be very powerful and dominant.

Maya weds Sage Kashyapa

    The first child born to Maya and Kashyapa was Surapanman.

Birth of Surapanman

  Maya and Kashyapa take the form of lions and give birth to Singamukhan, the lion faced brother of Surapanman.

Maya and Kashyapa take the form of elephants and give birth to Gajamukhan, the elephant faced brother of Surapanman.

Maya and Kashyapa take the form of goats and give birth to Ajamukhi, the goat faced sister of Surapanman.

  Maya and Kashyapa then give birth to two lakh asuras. All of them pay respect to their parents.

Adviced by his father Surapanman does intense tapas to gain the grace of Lord Shiva.

  Surapanman pleases Lord Shiva and receives the boon to rule 1008 worlds for 108 yugas.

    After receiving the boons Surapanman imprisons the devas and tortures them.

  But Lord Shiva had taken the form of Dakshinamoorthy during this time after granting the boon to Surapanman.
