The Devas were jubilant, as if they saw a new sacred meal coming into view.
At that time, Shiva smiled slightly.
"Parvati, you should also go and help with preparing the Vighna. In the future, I'd like to enjoy the sacred meals you make as well," said Shiva, looking at Parvati with a gentle voice.
"Of course, my lord."
With a smile and a twinkle in her eyes, Parvati briskly walked over to Goddess Lakshmi's side. The two goddesses exchanged smiles, showing no hint of their previous quarrel over Vighna.
Seeing this scene, Indra's mouth gaped open slightly.
With the command given from above, they could only comply. The confrontation with Mara Asura was inevitable.
So be it...
Indra folded his arms across his chest, his thoughts stirring.
Mara Asura was powerful, and with Motu and Gedabat by his side, the visitors boded no good, as storming the Heavenly Realm head-on would certainly not be advantageous.
But they could win through clever strategy!
Play along with him!
