8.7.115

nirvairasukhitās tasmād vartadhvam itaretaram /
asmākaṃ yena saṃtoṣaḥ śivaṃ ca jagatāṃ bhavet //

So let your mutual antagonism drop, and be happy, in order that I may be pleased, and the prosperity of the worlds may be ensured.' " "When, they had heard this address of the revered Danu, uttered by the mouth of Siddhi, Vrihaspati, Indra having looked him in the face, said to her— " The gods entertain no design against the Asuras, and are willing to be friends with them, unless they display a treacherous animosity against the gods." When the preceptor of the gods said this, Maya the king of the Dánavas said— " If the Asuras entertained any animosity, how could Namuchi have given to Indra the horse Uchchhaihśravas that resuscitates the dead?' And how could Prabala have given his own body to the gods? And how could Bali have given the three worlds to Vishnu, and himself have gone to prison? Or how could Ayodeha have given his own body to Viśvakarman? What more shall I say? The Asuras are ever generous, and if they are not treacherously injured, they cherish no animosity." When the Asura Maya had said this, Siddhi made a speech, which induced the gods and Asuras to make peace and embrace one another.
