Jalandhara said: O Brother-in-law, if you are pleased give me this boon. You stay in my house with all your followers, my sister and myself.

Sanatkumāra said: On hearing these words of the great Asura, lord Viṣṇu, the lord of gods, said distressingly—“So be it.”

Then Viṣṇu came to the city called Jalandhara[1] along with his followers, the gods and Lakṣmī.
