Save us who have sought refuge in you. O lord, we are very much distressed by this harassment. All including Indra are deposed and compelled to stay on the earth. O lord, how is it possible that you do not know this adversity of the gods (devāpatti)? Hence in order to protect us please kill him. [...]”.
