in this mythical tale, three powerful asuras- Vritra, Shambra, and Ranaksha- grow envious of the devas' glory and pray to lord Vishnu for equality. moved by their devotion, Vishnu grants them the right to rule heaven for one cosmic age. at first they govern wisely, bringing peace to all reams. but as pride consumes them, they forget the true purpose of divinity-service, not power. Vishnu, disguised as a sage, reminds them of their duty and reveals their arrogance. the asuras repent, losing their divine thrones but gaining wisdom. in the end, Vishnu restores balance, teaching that divinity is not earned by might but by humility.
