5.21.7

rājovāca |
kāvetāvasurāvādau kathaṃ tau balināṃ varau |
kena saṃsthāpitau ceha strīvadhyatvaṃ kuto gatau ||

Hearing about the names of S’umbha and Nis’umbha, Janamejaya asked:-- O best of Munis! Who were those two Asuras? How came they to be most powerful? Who put them here? Why were they vulnerable to women only? Under whose tapasyâ and under whose boon did they become so strong? And why did that great Devî kill them? Describe all these to me in detail.
