Indian Legends provide a great variety of characters. The fight between the Gods and Demons and the war of kings signify a status of immense action in which the entire human power was engaged. In the time of peace, the whole community sacrificed to the agents of their victory, glory and happiness, whom they called gods and the gods freely mixed with mortal. They exchanged favours to each other. Men sacrificed to please the gods with the soma and purodasa, in return they gave them (gods) rewards in kind, comfort and progeny. -- amazon.com
