Madhu and Kaitabha were supposed to have sprung from the karnamala earwax of Vishnu and tries to devour Brahma and Lord Narayana killed them. The real significance of this is that Karna meaning ear, stands for sruti, hearing, that is vedas. karnamala denotes vedaninda, censure of the vedas. So Madhu represents the demonic quality of boycott of the scriptures and the indulgence in sensual pleasures. Madhu is called an asura because this sensual enjoyment revels in all beings, asushu, praanishu ramathe ithi asurah. The Lord is called Madhusudhana as HE kills the carnal instinct by reviving the awareness of the vedas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
