The messenger said: "In the morning, having disgraced his own family, that leader of the wicked summoned his dear demons and made them hear the event of the night. And those breaker of bounds, like comets [gathering around] the Rāhu-like one, assembled and held a council that rumbled like the roar of a pack of tigers. In short, from a conclusion of roars about conquering Mahendra and the others, this alone became their purpose: through the persecution of the all-pervading Viṣṇu's followers—gods, animals, brāhmaṇas, cows, and the like—his own persecution was celebrated; and similarly, in keeping with that, merciless crushing of infants younger and older than ten days was resolved upon. Relying entirely on that wicked power, he was thoroughly engaged therein; and by that means, he then bestowed much."
