Sūtra translation
(The evil-natured do not attain to the ratik of the gods by changing their nature) ; and for this very reason, that the number of the other class (the Asuras) is much greater, on account of such indication (and scriptural statement').
In fact the numerical strength is greater on the side of the Asuras than on that of the gods. This appears from the indication contained in “ Therefore let him not <ro to the crowd ” (Bri. III. 3. io), and from the Sruti, “ Only fewer in number are the gods and the greater in number are the Asuras (Bri. III. 3'. 1), the same fact is distinctly seen.” So also the Brahma Purana says : “ Since the Asuras are very numerous, let him not go to the crowd.”
