daitya-dynasty

The archaic skandapurANa lists the daitya dynasty & the order of incarnation-s differently from the narratives of other purANa-s:

  1. hiraNyakashipu: slain by viShNu (nR^isiMha)
  2. hiraNyAkSa: slain by viShNu (varAha)
  3. andhaka: slain by rudra
  4. prahlAda: slain by indra & viShNu
  5. virochana: slain by indra
  6. bali: trampled by viShNu

The archaic skandapurANa places the battle between daitya-s led by prahlAda & the gods occurs during the churning of the world-ocean.
