Asura Mahishasura 

The Epic Story of Mahishasura shows that Mahishasura brought up by his mother Syamala and grew as ball of fire. He was simply amazing. Now, he grew with vengeance to take revenge against devas since their king Indra had cursed his mother. He knew that he needed a boon from Lord Brahma. He did a long and pious meditation and tough penance to please Lord Brahma for 1000 years without any food and water.
