THE LIVING ARCHIVE
About Anala Vasu
The Vasus are a company of gods included in the epic’s reckoning of thirty-three deities. Their genealogy connects named divine beings with parents, spouses and descendants. In the fire portion of that account, the narrator turns to Kumara, a warrior god also known as Kartikeya, and explains his reed-forest birth and foster care.
