Śakra's loss of his kingdom due to the insult to Bṛhaspati; Śakra, defeated by Bali, went with Brahmā and the others to the realm of Viṣṇu and prayed to Viṣṇu; on Viṣṇu's instruction, Śakra and the others took refuge with Bali; the honoring of Śakra, who had taken refuge, by Bali at the word of Nārada; Śakra, questioned by Bali for the sake of obtaining jewels, praised the effort to churn the ocean; then the gods and dānavas went to Mount Mandara to churn the ocean; having brought Mount Mandara with great effort with the help of Viṣṇu and made Vāsuki the churning rope, the gods and dānavas began churning the ocean; the emergence of the hālāhala poison from the ocean being churned; although Nārada said that Śiva must be remembered in this danger, the gods did not heed his words, being driven by self-interest and continuing with the churning of the ocean itself; the description of the raging hālāhala burning the entire universe including the eight envelopes up to Vaikuṇṭha. 15
