ĀSURI. An ancient Maharṣi. He was the ācārya of Kapila Sāmkhyadarśana and the guru of the maharṣi Pañcaśikha. Once Āsuri had a full vision of God. He gave many precepts on spiritual matters to other Maharṣis. The Bhāgavata says that Āsuri received his spiritual enlightenment from his wife, Kapilā. (M.B., Śānti Parva, Chapter 218, Verses 10-14).
