AGNIMUKHA . An Asura.

1. Genealogy. He was descended from Viṣṇu in this

order: Viṣṇu-Brahmā-Marīci-Kaśyapa-Śūrapadma-

Agnimukha.

2. Birth. Śūrapadma married Maya's daughter and

Agnimukha was born as their son. In the battle bet-

ween the devas and asuras, the latter were defeated and

one of them sought shelter in Pātāla (the lower world).

Kaśyapa married his daughter, Surasā. They had six

children; they were: Śūrapadma, Siṃhika, Siṃha-

vaktra, Tārakāsura, Gomukha, and Ajāmukhī. Sūra-

padma married Maya's daughter. Agnimukha was one

of their four sons, the other three being Bhānugopa,

Vajrabāhu and Hiraṇya. (Skanda Purāṇa, Āsura-

kāṇḍa). In the Skanda Purāṇa there is a vivid descrip-

tion of the valiant way in which Agnimukha fought

in the battle between the devas and asuras.
