You'll see that Rakshashas have pointed ears, that they live in trees, they like to eat human flesh and drink frothy blood (like a vampire or chupa cabra), they are shape-shifters and that they fly very swiftly in the sky.
As follows is a description of the Rakshashi Jara. A rakshashi is a type of female demon, as I have described in the previous postings of this thread. They are also called "Asuri".
Read down from Jarasandha, to Etymology and to where it says "Legend". You will see that the "two halves" were brought together by Jara such that the boy was given the name Jarasandha.
In the second article below, you will see that Jarasandha was something like an Emperor of the hollow earth. The way I have always heardd it described is that Jarasandha had alliances with the kings of the hollow earth, but the writer of this second article comes right out and calles him the emperor.
The demons had incarnated in, and had possessed, the bodies of kings of the Vedic dynasties in order to stymie the purpose of the Krishna Avatar. Jarasandha was one of them.
@deandddd , the real proof that Jarasandha once existed are the mysterious "Son Bhandar" caves , literally meaning "Gold Warehouse" , where he is said to have hidden his ENORMOUS treasure !
In later times , it was acquired by the Maurya dynasty , which was contemporary to Alexander . This video is in Hindi language , but the visuals don't actually need any translation - else you can read the text of the story in English , from the link provided below :))
@deandddd , when India was under British occupation , the British had tried to blast open this cave network using cannons , but even that failed to make any dent into the rock solid walls of these finely polished caves...the black stains of where those cannon balls struck are still visible though...Jarasandh's treasure has never been found till date , but is supposed to be one of THE largest treasures ever accumulated by any king !
