The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
देवा विजयिनः सर्वे विष्णुना सह सत्तमाः । कश्यपं पितरं दृष्टुं मातरं च ततो गताः
devā vijayinaḥ sarve viṣṇunā saha sattamāḥ | kaśyapaṃ pitaraṃ dṛṣṭuṃ mātaraṃ ca tato gatāḥ
แล้วเหล่าเทวะทั้งปวง—ผู้มีชัยและผู้ประเสริฐ—พร้อมด้วยพระวิษณุ เสด็จไปเพื่อเฝ้าบิดาคัศยปะและมารดาของตน

FAQs
After becoming victorious, the gods, accompanied by Viṣṇu, go to visit their father Kaśyapa and their mother.
Kaśyapa is a prominent Prajāpati and progenitor figure, frequently described as the father of various divine and cosmic lineages, including the devas in many Purāṇic accounts.
The verse implicitly highlights reverence for one’s parents and elders—returning to honor them after success—framed within a divine narrative involving Viṣṇu and the devas.
