Attaining the Brahman-Station: The Vow of Equanimity in Mokṣadharma
स तदाभ्यर्च्य दैत्येन्द्र त्रलोक्यपतिरी श्वरः । असुरेन्द्रमुपामन्त्रय जगाम स्वं निवेशनम्
sa tadābhyarcya daityendra trilokyapatir īśvaraḥ | asurendram upāmantrya jagāma svaṃ niveśanam ||
ಆ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ತ್ರಿಲೋಕಾಧಿಪತಿ ದೇವೇಶ್ವರನಾದ ಇಂದ್ರನು ದೈತ್ಯೇಂದ್ರನನ್ನು ವಿಧಿವತ್ತಾಗಿ ಪೂಜಿಸಿ ಗೌರವಿಸಿದನು. ನಂತರ ಅಸುರೇಂದ್ರ ಪ್ರಹ್ಲಾದನ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪಡೆದು ತನ್ನ ನಿವಾಸವಾದ ಸ್ವರ್ಗಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳಿದನು.
