Rishi Kashyap's 3 wives among 13 daughters of Daksh were Aditi, Diti & Danu. Aditi's sons were Devas, Diti's Asuras & Danu's were Danavas.

It is said that Rakhasas were created from the breath of Brahma when he was asleep at the end of the Satya Yuga. As soon as they were created they were so filled with blood lust that they started eating Brahma himself. Brahma shouted "Rakshama" (Sanskrit for "Protect Me!") and to save Brahma, Vishnu expelled all Rakshasas (named so because of Brahma's cry for help) to Earth.

Look at Krishna, who had 16108 wives! I guess that is why Mahadev has only one Parvati Devi!

regarding Shukra being swallowed by Shiv and later released by shiv's semen.. this happens during Anhdk's tym...

i quote the following extract frm Shiv Puran itself..!!

" wen Shiv swallowed Bhargava like a fruit, Andhak's asuras did not rise from the dead anymore.

inside Shiv's belly Bhargav wandered desperately seeking escape and wanting to be on Andhak's side. he saw all the Mandals of Brahma and Vishnu etc.

in terror Bhargav fell to hyming shiva.. As he chanted, Bhargava was caught in the warm rush of sumthing that had the scent of the beginning of the stars...

he was washed along in a soft flood and ejaculated into the light of the world from shiv's most sacred Linga...

Shiva blessed him saying tht from now on he shall be called Shukra and anyone worshipping him shall have great virility..."

~~Shiv Puran yudh kaand, Andhak
