The demon of fever : Jwarasura

We call fever in Kannada as Jwara . We all feel uneasiness and difficulty during fever . In Hindu mythology , Jwarasura is hailed as the deity of fever . Jwarasura = Jwara ( fever ) and Asura = demon .


This Jwarasura was born out from the sweat of the fore head of God Shiva when he was meditating . Soon he ( jwarasura ) started posing threats to gods .


He was such a menace that even God Vishnu got inflicted by him ( had fever ) once . God Vishnu killed this demon by cutting him into 3 parts . These each 3 parts have developed separate head and limbs . It is said that this demon has the remarkable ability to move in all the directions at once .
