Once Indra sent Rambhā to infatuate Vṛtra. "Look, beautiful girl ! Make Vṛtra senseless somehow so that I may kill him." Hearing this, with a beautiful laugh, Rambhā went with her maids to the Park Nandana and waited for Vṛtrāsura. At this time Vṛtra, with some Dānava friends, came to the park Nandana for entertainment. Indra walked beside watching for the opportunity to kill him. Without fearing any danger from Indra, Vṛtra walked through the park, seeing the celestial maids singing and dancing and playing various games in the garden, and they reached a corner where Rambhā had been singing sweet songs and swinging with her maids.

I came here with my maids to play. Who are you, my Lord?" - [Previous: c9.4942](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4942) - [Next: c9.4944](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4944) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4943](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4943) · Pramāṇa
