# O - Oppressive Ogre (1-4)

*Hiranyakasipu tried to gain complete control of the universe and became highly oppressive, displaying the grotesque and predatory qualities of an ogre. He underwent extreme austerities to overcome death and requested benedictions from Brahma that would make him virtually immortal. He overpowered humans and demigods, terrorised all living entities and even forced the Gandharvas and Apsaras to dance and sing for his pleasure.*
