1. What was Kuyou's Prophecy?

Below are two versions of the same Prophecy. The first one was for Ashura-Ou before the Holy War. The second one was for Yasha-Ou, 300 years after the Holy War. Both are taken from my friend Fuu's Rg Veda translations, from the original Japanese edition: (The Yasha-Ou version is the one printed on the covers and color illustrations of the Rg Veda manga tankoubans.)

Version for Ashura-Ou

Version for Yasha-Ou

The Six Stars flow and fall.
They are the dark stars rising against Heaven
Shura is not of Heaven
One that destroys Heaven
when in Heaven,
And one that destroys Earth
when in Earth.
The thunder of the new Lord of Heaven roams the world,
after he shreds the flame
Not of Heaven.
When the Flame burns down,
the world will become infested with evil.
The Wheel of Time turns,
the Six Stars gather.
The scarlet flame that inherits Shura
Shalt burn away all evil.
The Six Stars pressure
all others
And will ultimately conquer.
Then -----

The Six Stars shalt become the "Break"
that destroys Heaven.

The Six Stars flow and fall.
They are the dark stars
rising against Heaven.
As the way with which
Destiny should be woven
Thou shalt bring it up for thyself.
Guided by the end of the clan
Thou shalt embark on a voyage
With the infant.
The infant cannot be determined
good or evil
Yet he turns Tenkai's wheel of destiny.
The gathering of the Six Stars
is the will of the Gods.
However, under the Darkness,
Someone will come down.
He will put the fate of the stars
in his hands
And control the dark stars
as well as light.
Even under my Stargazing,
this figure still remains a mystery.
The scarlet flame that thou hath raised
Shalt burn away all evil.
The Six Stars together
overwhelm all others
And will ultimately conquer.
Then -----

Thou shalt become the "Break"
that destroys Heaven.

Kuyou had promised Ashura-Ou 300 years ago to deliver the prophecy to Yasha-Ou. Kuyou had refused to work for Taishaku-ten during these 300 years in order to keep this promise. She did not know what "Six Stars" or "Break" mean, but she knew that Yasha would find a baby in the Forest of Maya, and that same child would kill him in the end.
