Battle of Asura Mahishssura 

Asura Mahishasura brought up by his mother Syamala and grew as the ball of fire. He was simply amazing. Now, he grew with the 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. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Brahma granted him a boon that he could not be defeated in battle by anybody and anywhere except by a woman and would die only in the hands of a woman.

                    Mahishasura, being arrogant, thought that a woman would never be able to kill him. He became particularly expert in hundreds of illusion and had become haughty on the strength of his boon. He became very powerful and puffed up with vanity on his getting the boon and wanted to obtain sovereignty over the whole universe under his control.
