'Here, the best of the gods always showers a myriad of desired wishes; / therefore people are happy in it.'
Having spoken thus, the blessed Brahmā, the grandfather of the worlds, / went to his divine assembly hall frequented by many siddhas.
When he had gone, O Vyāsa, that city was occupied / by asuras, called Daityas, who were thorns to all brahmins, / whose leader was Asukrodha, the best of all wielders of weapons, / a slayer of brahmins, a destroyer of sacrifices, O brahmin, a slayer of gods and asuras,
