Defeat of Lord Indra
Indra waged a battle against Viratasura but Indra met with a crushing defeat as a result of which Indra had to flee from the battle scene leaving behind his elephant Vayuavata. Viratasura then took over Indra Loka, forcing Indra to flee to Lord Vishnu for help. Vishnu advised them that they should first win the confidence of Viratasura, befriend him and then kill him when he may not be on his guards. Vishnu also advised them that they should pray to the Goddess so that through her 'Yogamaya' she may render Viratasura incapable of intelligent thought. Indra did as advised and was consequently blessed by the Goddess.
