Sura, Suras (Sanskrit) Used in the Vedas for gods in general, equivalent to devas; originally solar deities, as is shown by the name surya (sun), and correspond in many instances to the manasaputras and agnishvattas of theosophy. Later by the Indian exotericists the suras arbitrarily became asuras (not suras), yet "the 'Ancestors' breathed out the first man, as Brahma is explained to have breathed out the Suras (Gods), when they became 'Asuras' (from Asu, breath)" (SD 2:86).
