Indra said:
'This demoness was slain, O brahmins, who had formerly been created against you;
[slain] with the triple staff for your welfare by me, O you whose wealth is austerity.
She had been created against you by King Tṛṇabindu when he was enraged.'
Sanatkumāra said:
Then, having arrived there, the gods and the seers rich in austerities
gave ceremonial bath to that Viṣṇu at the sacred ford venerated by hosts of seers.
