The powerful kings who were supposed to uphold righteousness were afflicting the earth. Oppressed by the reign of adharm, Bhudevi approached Brahmadev with the rest of the gods. He along with Mahadev, Srinav and Amarsri, seeing her suffering went straight to Vaikunth.
But for the sake of confounding the worlds, the undecaying Vishnudev was immersed in sleep. The entire abode was shrouded in darkness, only illuminated by the smile of Lakshmi as she gazed lovingly at her lord.
The Maharishis and the Saptrishis who had accompanied the gods saw him asleep, and began praising him, so he wakes up.
"Phoolo ke mala ke anand uthane ke baad jab woh murjha jhaaye toh unka tyaag karna chahiye. Prabhu, aap bhi nidra ka tyaag kare. Brahmadev, aapke aradhya Mahadev, aapki putri Amarsri aur sabhi anya Devta aapse milne aaye hai. Ab toh uth jayiye." They said.
Mahadev smiled seeing that Narayan was still asleep, "Ab uth bhi jayiye." He said.
And the very next moment, Narayan arose in his supreme and blazing form, dispelling the waves of darkness that the entire universe had been immersed in.
He saw all the assembled gods and goddesses, together with the grandfather Brahma. They all looked agitated as if wanting to say something.
Vishnudev spoke, "Kya kasht hai aap sabhi ko ? Kaisa bhaye hai aapko ? Batayiye, mai kya karu aapki chinta dur karne ke liye ?"
"Narayan, jab tak aap hai devtao ko kisi ka bhaye nahi." Brahmadev said, "Parantu samaye ke saath, Bhudevi par atyachar badhta jaa raha hai."
"Toh kya prithvi par shaanti nahi ?" He asked looking at Srinav.
"Prabhu, shaanti toh tab hogi jab Dharm ka palan hoga." Srinav said, "Shaanti waha hoti hai, jaha 3 varn, Brahmano ka anusaran kare, aur Brahman, Vedo ka. Kintu jab Raja hi dharm ka palan na kare, toh praja kya karegi ?"
Narayan looked at the goddess Vasudha, and then glanced at Amarsri, "Narayanaa, tumhare Raja kya Vasundhara ki raksha nahi kar rahe ?" He asked.
Amarsri sighed and said, "Aapse kya chhupa hai, Pitashree ? Jab tak Shaktishaali vyakti, dharm ke maarg par agrasar rehte hai, tab tak kisi ko mrityu ka bhi bhaye nahi hota. Jab tak Raja sushaashan se raaj karte hai, tab tak praja ki vriddhi hoti hai. Parantu, jab shaktishaali hi durbal ka shoshan kare, waha matsya nyaaye hota hai. Aur matsya nyaaye, sabhyata ka naash kar deti hai. Sahastro gaavo aur pradesho mei sahastro shaktishaali padhadhikaari, prithvi ko chhanni kar rahe hai."
Brahmadev said, "Vishnudev, aap Bhudevi ke liye param sharan hai. Prithvi ka shoshan, ghor paap hai. Adharm ko apna manushya yahi paap kar rahe. Devi Vasudha ab thak gayi hai, inka bhaar uthaate uthaate. Iss liye hum sab aapse mantrana karne aaye hai, jisse dharm ki raksha ho sake. Hume Meru parvat par jaa, charcha karni chahiye."
"Uchit hai." Narayan said, in a voice that was like the thundering of clouds.
Following the words of Brahmadev, he departed on Suparna. Not taking their eyes off him, all the gods followed him. In a short while, they reached the bejewelled Meru mountain.
In the sky there, the gods saw the assembly hall, which could assume any form at will. It was stretched out and attached to the peak of Meru and was like the sun in its radiance.
The foundations were made out of golden pillars and the doors were encrusted with diamonds. It was garlanded with a large number of vimanas and was colourful.
It could go wherever it wished. Everywhere, flowers blossomed. It was divine and had been constructed by Vishvakarma.
As instructed, some of them sat on seats, others seated themselves on vimanas. Some sat on thrones, others on cushions and spreads. They began talking amongst themselves, and the entire hall was filled with sounds of murmurings.
Urged by Brahma, the wind Vayudev asked everyone to be quiet and this sound echoed throughout the auspicious assembly hall. At this, there was silence throughout that conclave of the residents of heaven.
Bhudevi came forward, "Narayan, jab Hiranyaksh ne mera haran kar mujhe patal mei laa diya, tab aapne Varah roop le meri raksha ki thi. Jab Bali ne mujh par adhikaar kiya tha, tab aapne Vaman roop mei punah mujh par apna adhipatya sthaapit kiya tha. Jab kshatriya ke atank se mujhe kasht ho raha tha, tab aapne Parshuram ke roop mujhe 21 baar kshatriyo ke rakt se shaanti karwaya tha. Aapne Shri Ram ke roop mei, mere kalyaan hetu, Dharmrajya sthaapit kiya tha. Ab ek aur baar meri sahayata kare prabhu." She requested, speaking the words of self-pity.
All the gods looked at her sympathetically, after pausing for a moment to let tears fall from her eyes, Bhudevi joined her hands and continued, "Hey Narayan ! inn adharmiyo se meri raksha kare. Hey Chakradhar ! Aisa kuch kare ki yeh sab adharmi rajao ka yudh mei naash ho jaaye. Hey Karunanidhan ! Mujh par kripa kare !"
Seeing the pain of Bhudevi, Amarsri being Suryamandala, couldn't sit ideally like so.
"Pitashree Narayan, Pitashree Mahadev, Brahmadev, Vasudha ki yeh dasha mujhse dekhi nahi jaati. Aisa kuch kijiye, jisse Bhu ka bhaar kam ho. Yadi vidhwansh bhi karna ho, toh kariye. Ahimsa paramdharm hai, parantu Dharm ke liye ki gayi himsa, bhi galat nahi." Amarsri said.
"Hum Devi Amarsri ke baato se sehmat hai." Indra said, on behalf of the rest of the gods, "Brahmadev, jis prakar Treta yug mei hum devta kisi ka kisi roop mei avtarit huye the, hume batayiye, iss baar hum kin kin roopo mei avtarit ho."
