## Purport
Persons who are demons, enemies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, are called *asuras.* As stated in *Bhagavad-gītā,* the *asuras,* because of their enmity toward the Supreme Personality of Godhead, take birth after birth in *asura* families and therefore glide down to the darkest hellish regions.
