In Buddhism, Ashura was poor in previous life and always crossed the river and went to lawnmower.
One day, the buddha Buddha turned into a grand priest and went begging to the place of Asura.
After finishing eating, throwing a bowl, the bowl flew away. Then the poor man became bigger in the afterlife and hoped that he would not cross the knee even if he crossed a deep river.
Since Asura gave rice to Buddha Buddha, the guess, the body became bigger, the length exceeded the height of Sueyama, and even when standing in the sea it did not cross the knee.
