Makaradamṣṭrā dressed herself as instructed by Lohajaṅgha and awaited the arrival of the fake Mahāviṣṇu. Lohajaṅgha came at night and Rūpiṇikā showed him her mother dressed as desired by her husband. Lohajaṅgha took Makaradamṣṭrā on the back of his kite and flew up. As he rose high he saw a tall flagstaff of a temple nearby. It had a wheel on its top. Lohajaṅgha placed her on the wheel and said, "Do sit here for a while. I shall soon come back to you and bless you". To the people assembled in the temple he spoke from the air, "Citizens, today the goddess 'Mārī', destroyer of everything, will fall on you. If you want to avoid that, remain in this temple and worship Viṣṇu". - [Previous: c8.268](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.268) - [Next: c8.270](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.270) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.269](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.269) · Pramāṇa
