Sūta said: The lord of speech Bṛhaspati glanced at the lord fearlessly, bowed to him and said—O Iśa, it is with the desire for a boon that Devas have come here. You have always been unobstructedly requested by Asuras and others. You are prayed to by those who are harmful and injurious to Devas, for the achievement of their desire. Hence, bless us with a good cause of impediment to those who bring about injury to Devas. This alone is our request.
