DURĀSADA. A son of Bhasmāsura. He learned Pañcākṣarī vidyā from Śiva and used to repeat it. Pleased at this Śiva gave him all the boons he wanted with the result that he lost his head and began troubling everybody. When thus unrest and injustices increased in the world Dhuṃḍhi, the son of Śakti killed him. (Gaṇeśa Purāṇa, Chapter 38, 42).
