The Atrocities of King Kamsa
305
Those who are devotees of Lord Viṣṇu, Kṛṣṇa, are  suras , or  devas , whereas those who are opposed to the devotees are called  asuras . Devotees are expert in all transactions ( yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ ). Therefore they are called  kovida , which means “expert.”  Asuras , however, although superficially showing expertise in passionate activities, are actually all fools. They are neither sober nor expert. Whatever they do is imperfect.  Moghāśā mogha-karmāṇaḥ . According to this description of the  asuras  given in  Bhagavad-gītā  (9.12), whatever they do will ultimately be baffled. It was such persons who advised Kamsa because they were his chief friends and ministers.
