#bramha

I’m of the belief that they came from Bramha-Saraswati, as depicted in the story of Samudra Manthan and Dakshinamurti Shiv ji🙏🏼

The reason is kind of fitting imo, because they are the first piece of knowledge and are said to be as old as creation (some say they are eternal and exist in all timelines since infinity, in which case I again think it is Bramha ji because he is preserving it with his every creation so the credit again goes to him). Creation is Bramha ji, Knowledge is Saraswati, so to me it makes sense to me that we consider Vedas a part of what was first created (because like I said, they came with the creation and is the knowledge of what was created) and hence under the domain of knowledge of Bramha is Saraswati.

Plus, in Samudra Manthan everyone got what was theirs i.e Shivji had the Halahal because he was the only one who could take it, Vishnu ji found his beloved, and the Ved were restored to Bramha ji, because they were his to begin with.

Ofcourse, different school of thoughts come up with different Ideas.

Some say they came from Mata Bhavani because she is the ultimate mother of everything, some say they came from Goddess Laxmi because of her great understanding of the same (as seen in Vedavati and Siya), Some say it is lord Narayan because he is the ultimate divine and some say it is lord Shiv because he is the embodiment of everything.

Mt. Kailash, Himalayan Mountains.

The snow capped mountain tops were beautiful, and the air was crisp and fresh.

"Your family lives here?" Satan asked, looking around for any sign of danger. It was too peaceful for comfort.

"I was born here, my friend," Esshra chuckled. "But yes, I live here..."

Two giant snakes came up and curled themselves around her ankles, eyeing the seven avatars with suspicion.

"Shesha Naaga. Vasuki Naaga. Calm down....They're friends who have come for Ma Durga's birthday. Easy now...."

Both snakes went back to Vishnu and Shiva, wrapped around their bodies.

*************************************************

"So, since I hadn't explained Navratri completely, I will do it now..." she smiled.

Surprisingly, literally everyone had showed up for the prayers.

Lucifer could feel his sin exuding out of this tiny goddess yet.... her pride wasn't for herself. It was for her mother.

"This marks the end of a war between Ma Durga and the evil villain, Mahishasura."

"Wooaaahhh" Levi was literally bouncing on his heels, while everyone listened attentively.

"Did this person have any other relatives?" Luke piped up. "And have you seen this person?"

"No to both questions, kiddo," she ruffled his hair. "Also. You boys better listen carefully because I will quiz everyone after the morning of the tenth day."

"What's the prize, babe?" Mammon's laid back, teasing tone reached everyone's ears.

"Mammon. We're not dating so please drop that name, and the prize is....a surprise," she stuck her tongue out at him.

"So. Today is the first day of Navratri, and ma's first form is called Shailaputri, meaning "Daughter of the Mountains".

She is an incarnation of Ma Parvati, and is seen sitting on a bull....Satan stop picking on Belphie....yes I know what you're trying to do......named Nandi, and she has a trishula in her right hand and a lotus in her left hand.

Shailaputri is considered to be the direct incarnation of Mahakali (as in, my biological mother's angry form but don't tell them I told you guys that)....."

Solomon and Simeon were quite intrigued by her family history, but listened attentively.

Asmodeus sighed, "What's the color scheme of the day?"

"Yellow, depicting action and vigor," she chuckled, noticing how Asmo raised an eyebrow at the mentioned color. "Asmo. Why do I get the feeling you're going to pull out something?"

*************************************************

Damion chuckled, finding her cute. He sat beside Shiva, "I wish I had a daughter....but fate had other plans."

"Well...technically you did have her for a short time...but yes, fate had other plans, Lord Damion," Shiva nodded.

"Lady Durga...I'd like to see her, if it's all right with you," Damion looked at Shiva, "of course, only if she's available. Otherwise I'll just wait until the celebration is over."

Durga came out, dressed in a yellow sari, and she looked beautiful. She sat next to Shiva, trishula in her right hand and a lotus in her left hand.

Parvati and Kali were behind her, smiling at her.

*************************************************

Deus was genuinely surprised and shocked to see how easily everyone got along.

Diavolo kept his distance yet....seeing her smile made him sweat....in a good way but....

He'd remembered when she covered her face during their short-lived marriage. And now.... he understood why she was dressed as such.

*************************************************

Asmo was already fussing about the color and outfits everyone will need.... Oy Vey.

"So. Asmo, pay attention please....Mum Durga is also considered to be the reincarnation of Sati. Shiva, as in my dad's first wife, who then reincarnated herself as Mum Parvati, and is known as Hemavati."

"....." they were all confused save for Damion and Deus, who had smirks on their faces.

"Well, one thing is certain. The boys are confused," Deus chuckled.

"True....looks like Diavolo is beyond confused..." Damion looked over at the young prince who was trying to make sense of the whole story.

*************************************************

Diavolo stood up to go ask Esshra about how reincarnation works, but the goddess was called away by a few ladies in the kitchen.

A few minutes later, he accidentally came to the kitchen, and was nearly smacked upside the head by a little granny who was muttering something about modern men "trying to cook despite the fact that they tend to set the frying pan on fire."

"Diavolo. Did you need something?" It was Lakshmi, Esshra's aunt.

"Yeah....I was trying to find Esshra...."

"She's not here," Vasundhara sighed. "Just so you know, she's busy with the celebration at the moment. Besides.... you're too late if you think you can just waltz right back into her life, you're dead wrong."

Diavolo nodded, "Understandable. But can anyone explain to me how this reincarnation works?"

*************************************************

Meanwhile, Kartik showed up, shirt undone as he'd just taken a cold shower.

Levi was wandering around the interiors when he accidentally ran face first into a solid, hard, muscular chest.

Yelping, he jumped back, apologizing profusely while blushing several thousands shades of red.

"Grand Admiral Leviathan. Stop this...whatever you're doing...." the Commander of Gods raised an eyebrow, fixing the towel around his hips.

Levi collapsed, unable to face his military idol.

*************************************************

Esshra poked Satan’s forehead, seeing as he was trying to cuddle Durga's tiger.... who decided Satan was food and literally tried to eat his face off....

"Hey.....Pfft-" she burst out laughing, "I'd better send this to Levi...."

Shiva raised an eyebrow, "First time I've heard her laugh...."

"Well, she's adjusted quite well with those seven, and she's literally always like this with them," Damion chuckled..

"Ah yes....my former six chaotic kids..." Deus sighed, "At least they're making her happy."

Parvati smiled, bringing out some refreshments. "That's a good thing, isn't it?"

Kali sighed, calling the tiger away. Leaving the blonde covered in drool.

*************************************************

Meanwhile, Kartik poked Levi's rib cage. "Oi. Grand Admiral Leviathan....you alive?"

Poor weeb had a nose bleed, as his soul left his body.

"....This one is weird..." the older male sighed, easily throwing Levi over his shoulder like s sack of potatoes.

Levi's phone went off several times...and he missed his chance to see Satan's face being almost eaten off....

*************************************************

Vasundhara was glaring at Diavolo the whole time Lakshmi was explaining the history of Durga.

As soon as the explanation was done, Vasundhara rolled her eyes, "He's her ex...I'm surprised she invited him to mum's birthday..."

Lakshmi smiled, "Well, dear, you should know by now she does things through here," she tapped her forehead. "After all, she is the goddess of logical thinking....apart from others..."

"Point taken," the younger woman shrugged. "Thought she hated you, Dia?"

"I....don't know if she does..." he sighed. "But I had my reasons for doing what I did...I mean...she was technically still a child..."

"Ever heard of something called communication, young prince?" She raised an eyebrow, "She's not stupid. Besides...your chaotic seven friends seem to take better care of her....as always..."

*************************************************

Evening of Day One:

Everyone was dressed in shades of yellow, outfits literally hand picked and designed by Asmo.

"....Where's Esshra?" Shiva sighed, "She's probably run off to that place again, as usual..."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Mammon though, was another thing.

"Where'd she go? What place do you mean? I swear if anything happens to her....iyfkgolydiktfo" and a jalebi was shoved into his mouth courtesy of Belphie.

"Too noisy, Mammon. Too noisy."

Beelzebub was on his umpteenth glass of lassi, loving how the milky drink tasted.

*************************************************

Esshra was in her room, staring at the skies as dusk turned to night, hues of red and orange now turning to a beautiful midnight purple shade.

She'd often wondered what her family was put through after her divorce, despite the fact it wasn't even a messy one.

Parvati quietly came up and stood behind her, "Hey now. We're doing well...." she hugged the young woman, who was almost in tears. "You know...I'm glad you have friends who take care of you...."

"Those seven....plus Barbatos....they've always taken care of me, mum. They're good guys...."

"Hm? Is that..... 8 potential partners I see for you?" She teased.

"Nah. Just good friends....I don't think all this romantic crap is meant for me...." she sighed.

"Oh come on love. The kid with purple hair likes Kartik."

"Took you a while to figure out that," Esshra chuckled. "Levi has had the biggest crush on him for eternity!!"

*************************************************

Kali had noticed how often the brothers eyes were constantly searching for her daughter.

She could tell they were concerned about her safety yet.....the silverette seemed to be the most protective of her.

He was literally acting like her shadow, always either behind her or next to her.

His antics used to make her laugh, followed by a quip or a teasing sentence which caused him to turn several shades of red.

*************************************************

And so, the first day of Durga's birthday ended with fireworks in the night skies....

And left a certain someone pondering about her life.

Hindumythologyevent Day 1 - Modern AU

Tridev moodboard part 2/3 - Bramha

Barbatos was silently doing his usual chores one morning when he accidentally stepped into a certain room.

A room where his memories came into plain view....as though those incidents were taking place right in that moment.

A room where a little girl sat down and simply looked out the windows, beautiful burnished gold doe eyes full of wonder.

Yet.... they held....pain.... and he couldn't help her escape from the cold floors and even colder halls of the castle.

*************************************************

He once brought tea to her room, and she'd asked him to stay, "only five minutes...please?"

He'd complied with her request, answering any questions she had.

Not one to admit anything, but he truly enjoyed their little conversation time.

So he took it onto himself to help her adjust to the new environment, being careful to keep her away from the prying eyes of Diavolo's many lovers who had intentions to harm the child.

*************************************************

"Barbatos, is it all right if I went to the library? I don't want to let you run behind your schedule," she was now 12, and had gained some confidence and was quite a brilliant young lady.

"Yes, Miss Esshra," he'd smile at her on seeing a bright smile being returned to him.

"How many times have I said to drop all formalities?" A playful pout, and a fake frown.

"....Esshra..." a chuckle, a ruffling of her hair.

"That's better," a cheeky grin, followed by her footsteps receding towards the library.

He shook his head, then turned to complete the task at hand.

*************************************************

And soon, she was 14, a teenager. Wise for her age, yet, patient enough to wait for the fate of her marriage.

He was well aware of the strained relationship between her and Diavolo, yet he decided to let everything unravel.

He'd seen how much Diavolo resented her, the young prince forcing her to see his lovers drag him off to who knows where, yet she remained calm.

*************************************************

It wasn't until they were divorced that he felt... broken, oddly enough.

He'd missed her bright smiles, their conversations, her thirst for knowledge.

He missed that warmth she often exuded whenever he was around.

And so, he decided to wait until she returned to the Devildom....if she will.

*************************************************

Current Day: Diavolo's castle

It had been a few months since she'd returned to the Devildom, but the revelation of her family background was extremely shocking.

She was the daughter of Shiva and Kali, both gods of Destruction. She was the third god with such power. Yet her patience and wisdom often came into play more often.

She'd grown up to be a wise woman, and extremely beautiful.... and it was only then he realized.... there had been a certain feeling in his cold, dead chest after she'd been sent away 10 years ago.

And those feelings were quite....intense at this point... he wasn't sure if it was simply infatuation or if he actually had feelings for her.

Only fate will tell.

*************************************************

Invitations were given to literally every single family in the Devildom, be it the random person in the poorest part of town or the highest ranked politician in the heart of the Devildom.

He wanted her back at all costs, but....

Who was going to be her partner for that evening?

He'd hoped she would come alone, and so he cheekily asked Asmo to ask Esshra about her partner.

*************************************************

"Esshra~~ You're coming to the ball this weekend, right~?" He sang out from the common room.

She popped out from the kitchen, handing Beelzebub a bowl of rice pudding, "Yeah. I need a dress though... most of my clothes are just my uniform and just t-shirts and jeans..." she chuckled.

The horrified look on Asmo's face sent her laughing. "Asmo. Your expression..."

Beelzebub had gone in for a second bowl of the rice pudding but decided to clean out the entire pot. "This is so good..."

"Beel. I thought you saved some for Belphie? I can make another batch if you're done though."

Asmo immediately dragged her out shopping at Majolish, and they found two gorgeous dresses.

*************************************************

At RAD, a few incubi and some lesser demons tried asking her to go to the ball with them, but she smiled, apologized and mentioned that her partner will be joining her.

Diavolo asked Barbatos to check through all his time lines to see who would dare to take his place by her side.

Barbatos shook his head, "It's strange, young lord. I cannot seem to trace anything on Esshra's lineage.... past, present and future. It's as if my powers and abilities are rendered useless...."

So he begged the Avatars to find out who this person was, who had easily replaced him.

*************************************************

"So~~ Is he handsome?" Asmo teased.

"Asmo. One look at him and you'll start wishing you were his fourth wife," Esshra snickered.

"So is he from the same area as yourself?" Mammon piped up.

"Yeah. We know each other pretty well."

"Of course, Esshra's of South Asian descent, right?" Satan raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. So it's a bit of a "set up" by my parents if you will...."

*************************************************

Everyone was wondering who was Esshra's partner for the coming function, and no one was smart enough to check her background.

On the day of the event, she let everyone go on to the castle. "He's meeting me at Madam Screams before we will show up. Please don't wait for us, in case we run late."

As soon as they left, she messaged him.

I'm on my way. I'll be there in 5 minutes.

*************************************************

Diavolo had been mixing around with the other high ranking demons yet... his insides were in knots.

He was desperately searching for her and the one who had replaced him.

His lover noticed the way he seemed to search for that human woman, and made a personal note to ruin the evening for her.

Esshra came downstairs one morning, biting her lower lip. "Lucifer? I have a request....I need to get back home for 10 days please."

Ruby red eyes scanned her form, and considered her request carefully. "Go on. Is it a family matter?"

"Well....yes. My mother, Durga's birthday is coming up so...I need to be in charge of the 10 day prayers. It's a week to actually pray to her 9 forms..."

He raised an eyebrow, "Nine forms?"

She nodded. "Yes...we...all have several forms apart from our human forms and initial god forms....uh...that includes myself..."

The Avatar of Pride nodded, "I see. Interesting."

"You're all invited to the celebration...um... you can invite someone else as well..." she hesitated before telling him this.

He nodded, "I'll inform Lord Diavolo of the function."
