rishi said: in ancient time, there was a 100 year war
between sur and asur. leader of asura was mahishasur
and indra was the leader of devas.
travelling anywhere, he has no fear, does not die
prematurely, and obtains moksha after death.
sura was defeated by asura and mahishasur became
indra.
therefore, wise ones read keelak and do nishkeelan
before starting to read ss.
after being defeated, devas with bramaaji leading, went
where Vishnu and shankara was present
whatever good luck is found in women is due to prasad
of devi ji. therefore one must always do japa of ss.
devas told Vishnu and shiva, in details about the power
of mahishasur and how devas were defeated and said:
