The ash-man is a granter of wishes

irrespective of caste, class, gender and nation

he grants access

but the access comes through deep meditation from the one desiring access

invocation

Thus it was that the one now known and "bhasmaasura"

meditated

for access to godly powers

                         being outside of class, caste and nation of the 
godly beings

he meditated in modes that the inbetweenness of the ash-man's existence
permitted Others

fortheashmaninhiscomplicityonlyunderstoodtheepistemiclogicwithinwhichthegodslivedevenasheworeaserpentaroundhisneckwhiletryingtomakepeacebetweenwhattheytermedgoodandevil

                         he could not be poisoned because he did not 
believe it was poison

it was not for some

                 bhasmaasura invoked the ash man and was granted his wish

ah the silly man he asked for something other than what he wanted when he 
began the meditation

because in the process invoking, in his meditation , he trans-formed

power hungry

hungry for modes of being in the godly realm

                 the resentment built up during the rigor of invocation in 
a language not his own

and he asked for the boon of destruction

ash-man allow me to make you ash again he thought

and wished for the magic of turning gods into dust

the wish granter ran and he ran....

                         to (im)perfect higher being laying on a bigger 
serpent


                                         transgendered as gods are this 
higher being
trans-formed
                 into a gendered being that bhasmaasura would understand as 
goddess

and so bhasmaasura danced and danced with this trans-gendered god...

until the power from within him burnt through him and he turned to ashes....

                                         ah the wonders of access
                                                         to technologies of 
the gods...
