Significado

Demons were born from the creation of night, and the demigods were born from the creation of day. In other words, demons like the Yakṣas and Rākṣasas are born of the quality of ignorance, and demigods are born of the quality of goodness.

De la creación de la noche nacieron los demonios, y de la creación del día, los semidioses. En otras palabras, los demonios como los yakṣas y rākṣasas nacen de la cualidad de la ignorancia, y los semidioses nacen de la cualidad de la bondad.
