Greetings,
I am curious if there are any solid books or grimoires regarding working with asuras/d from Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).

It's fascinating to find so many LHP books regarding 'adversarial' or daemonic beings across many cultures, from Babylonian to Greek to Egyptian and also Jinn etc yet I have found little to none regarding asura.

Perhaps I have overlooked something?
Thanks.

No..there aren't really any.
And the asuras aren't exactly adversarial or "daemonic" In the commonly used sense of the word.Nor are they anti cosmic forces, just one of the many classes of beings present in the hindu cosmology.Nor is there much textual/traditional mention of them being trafficked with or bound with.

There are however analogous spirits including pisachas, brahmarakshasa,vetalas and certain other classes of spirits that are worked with in some tantric traditions. They are the ones usually employed in pacts, bindings etc.
