The story of Andhakasura, the offspring of Shiva, is given in the Shiva and Vamana Puranas. Andhaka is born ugly. When given away in adoption, he lives surrounded by the crudeness and arrogance of the Asuras. But his origins being divine, there is a different destiny in store for him. Through a boon, he gains physical beauty, but his heart continues to harbour evil. His parents themselves are instrumental in bringing about his ultimate spiritual transformation. Andhaka's story aptly traces the journey through fire that a soul must make before attaining liberation.
