Vajranga (Sanskrit: वज्राङ्ग, romanized: Vajrāṅga, lit. 'thunderbolt-limbs') is an asura in Hinduism.[1] According to the Puranas, he was born to Diti and was fathered by the sage Kashyapa. Diti, being the mother of the asuras, sought revenge for the deaths of her children by the hands of the devas. Diti is said to have undergone severe austerities for ten thousand years in exchange for a boon which granted her a child who would slay the devas. Kashyapa granted her wish and they birthed Vajranga, whose body was like Indra's weapon, the vajra.[2]
Vajranga is the father of the asura Tārakāsura, who continued upon his father's war with the devtas, but was ultimately vanquished by the war god, Kartikeya.
