About this item

After King Indra insulted his spiritual master Brhaspati, the demons equipped themselves with weapons and declared war agamst the demigods. As a result of their misbehavior toward Brhaspati, the demigods' heads, thighs and arms and the other parts of their bodies were injured by the sharp arrows of the demons. The demigods, headed by Indra, saw no other course than to immediately approach Lord Brahma, the first living being in charge of material creation, with bowed heads for shelter and proper instruction.
