359 Words2 Pages

However, Brahma became besotted with her beauty consequently started pursuing her everywhere. To follow her, Brahma grew five heads, each in every direction. Satarupa transformed into every animal to abstain Brahma, but Brahma turned into the male form of those animals and followed her. Lord Shiva, angered by Brahma's lecherous actions,

    The Kushanas also used religion for similar practical means, and also claimed divine origin of their kings; “Ashoka called himself ‘dear to the gods’, but the Kushan kings called themselves sons of god.” Both of these Central Asian groups used military conquest to gain new territories in India, but after the conquest was complete, there was the problem of having to govern the conquered peoples. The Shakas and the Kushanas needed the support of the new peoples they began to rule; to achieve this, they began patronizing local religions in order to bond with their new Indian and Iranian subjects. According to Trautmann, “the coinage of the Kushanas shows that they patronized rival Indian cults, including that of the Hindu god Shiva and the Buddha, but because their territory fell in both India and Iran, numerous Iranian deities (not to mention Mesopotamian and Roman) also appear.” Sharma adds to this idea by writing “several Kushan rulers were worshippers of Vishnu, as was certainly the case with the Kushan ruler Vasudeva, whose very name is a synonym for Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu.”
