Indra’s Query on Karma-vipāka and the Viśvarūpa Episode
Lalitopākhyāna Context
हयग्रीव उवाच इत्थं कथयतोरेव बृहस्पतिपहेन्द्रयोः / मलकाद्या महादैत्याः स्वर्गलोकं बबाधिरे
hayagrīva uvāca itthaṃ kathayatoreva bṛhaspatipahendrayoḥ / malakādyā mahādaityāḥ svargalokaṃ babādhire
Hayagriva said: Even as Brhaspati and Indra were speaking thus, the mighty Daityas—Malaka and the rest—began to assail the realm of heaven.
