Raktabija was an asura (loosely translated as demon) who fought together with Shumbha and Nishumbha against Durga and Kali or Chamunda. Raktabija had a boon that whenever a drop of his blood fell on the ground, a duplicate raktabija would be born at that spot (rakta=blood, bija=seed; this is a bahuvrihi or exocentric compound, "he for whom each drop of blood is a seed"). In South Indian texts, the name is sometimes written raktabhija, and in the East, it is sometimes written raktabIj.
