O King Pariksit, Indra was considered the King of all the uni-
verse, but the demigods, headed by Lord Brahma, wanted
Upendra, Lord Vamanadeva, as the protector of the Vedas, the
principles of religion, fame, opulence, auspiciousness, vows,
elevation to the higher planetary system, and liberation. Thus they
accepted Upendra, Lord Vamanadeva, as the supreme master of
everything. This decision made all living entities extremely happy.
