Text 16] The Downfall of Saubhari Muni 187

in the service of Purafijaya; babhiiva—he became; indrah—the King of
heaven; mahd-vrsah—a great bull.

TRANSLATION

Purajijaya agreed to kill all the demons, on the condition that
Indra would be his carrier. Because of pride, Indra could not ac-
cept this proposal, but later, by the order of the Supreme Lord,
Visnu, Indra did accept it and became a great bull carrier for
Purajijaya.
