This dual-deity system reminds me quite a bit of the divide between the Grecco-Roman Gods and Titans.

And the Aesir (Os) and the Vanir (Divs) of the Norse.

"The relationship between the Æsir and Vanir parallel the Asuras and Devas in another way; like the Æsir, the Asuras were associated in Vedic myth with human phenomena (contracts, the arts, fate), while the Vanir, like the Devas, are associated with the natural world (such as Njord and Freyr, associated with fertility)."
