When the most powerful Lord Brahma saw the demigods coming toward him, their bodies gravely injured by the arrows of the demons, he understood the situation and chastised them for their offense to their spiritual master. Then he pacified and instructed them by his great causeless mercy. Following Lord Brahma's instructions, the demigods accepted Visvarupa as their priest, and under his priesthood they performed yajnas which enabled them to conquer the demons.
