v2.c17.65

“Śaṅkara answered, ‘There lived on the earth, in former times, a king, in Drumila, who performed many sacrifices in course of which he presented immense riches to the officiating priests, whereby the gods being pleased with him, said to him from the sky, "O king, ask any boon that you desire in your heart." He replied, "Let my two sons, O gods, be indestructible by males and weapons." The gods told him in reply, "Be it so." Do you, O dear and fawn-eyed one, destroy them in disguise.'
