| Daityas along with Danavas and Asuras are sometimes called Rakshasas, the generic term for a demon in Hindu mythology. |
| When the illustrious Sankara slew Tripura, even this was the weapon which he shot and by which many mighty Asuras were consumed. |
| They were asked to perform the first play on the festival of flagstaff celebrating the victory of Mahendra over Asuras and Danavas. |
| They can be compared to the mythological asuras in the Vedas whose society was also matrilineal. |
| The asuras say that this world is unreal, with no foundation, no God in control. |
| Wherever but one four-line gatha of this Dharma teaching is spoken or explained, that place is like a stupa in the world of devas, humans, and asuras. |
