Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar –

Raji had 500 sons, who were all extremely powerful, and had paraakrama, bala, and known for their stability.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 2:

There was a war starting between devaas and asuraas, at the beginning, each wanted to destroy the other; both devaas and asuraas go to Chaturmukha Brahma and ask him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 3:

When we are going to fight, O Lord, which side is going to win?

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 4:

Chaturmukha Brahma tells.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 5:

In whose side Raji, being well armed, he fights, that side is going to win, he says.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 6:

Then all the daityaas go first to Raji, and ask him – "Can you please help us in this war?".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 7:

He says "I am willing to fight on your side, but I have one condition, if you win over the gods, I want to become the Indra". Listening to this, the daityaas say thus.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 8:

They say that "We don't say something and do something else". They say that "Our Indra is only Prahlaada, and for that reason only, I am fighting the gods, so that Prahlaada can become the Indra". They did not accept Raji's offer that he wanted to become Indra. They went back being disappointed. After that, the gods approached Raji, and asked him the same thing – "Can you please help us and fight on our side, we want to win over the daityaas". The gods agreed to his condition. "We agree to your condition that if we win over the daityaas, you will be the Indra".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 9:

Raji helped the army of devaas, and using variety of weapons, the demons were destroyed.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 10:

After winning, Indra went and fell at the feet of Raji, and then he says thus.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 11:

He says – "You protected me from this fear of the daityaas and have given us food, you are my father, you are the most supreme in all the worlds, I am now your son; I was the Indra, and I am now your son". Then the king understood what he meant.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 12:

The king smiled and said thus.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 13:

He said – "Let it be so, let it be so, I understood your tricky words, I understood your trick. The way you fell at my feet with all these words, it shows how you have something in your mind, you are calling me your father, and you are entitled to this also, you become the Indra, I am going back", and gave back the Indratva. and went back to his place.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

One who has fallen at your feet, you should not take the kingdom. You have to win over kingdoms, but not accept from one who has fallen at your feet. This is the raaja dharma. So he did not accept. This is why Indra fell at his feet, as he did not want to give that.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 14:

Shatakratu became the Indra, as usual. He retained his position.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 15:

Once Raji passed away, Naarada comes to Raji's sons and tells that they are entitled as their father has won over the Indra padavi, and returned back to him, go and ask him; and they go to Shatakratu , Indra, and say that "We are the actual sons of Raji, we are entitled to this position as he has won over that and has given to you, this is our birthright". They ask Indra to give the position back.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 16:

They were very powerful. Indra did not agree to give. They defeated him and got the Indra padavi. They won over him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 17:

Indra, because nobody was offering havis to him, whatever havis was offered, was going to whoever was sitting in the Indra padavi, Raji's sons; Shatakratu was deprived of his havir bhaaga; when he was roaming around, after a long time, he saw Bruhaspati alone. Then he tells him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 18:

O Bruhaspati, do something so that at least I get a purodaasha, havis, at least of the quantity of Badari phala (elachi hannu, ಎಲ ಹಣು in Kannada). Why can't you help me in this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 19:

Bruhaspati says – "If you had told me earlier itself, what is it that I should not do for your sake, I would have done anything. I will definitely do very soon, within a few days, you will get your position back". Then, everyday he started to do aabhichaarika karma. These karmaas are told in Atharva Veda, Shyena yaaga. These karmaas he did in order to get buddhi moha, in order to do delusion to the Indra who was presently there, Raji's son, and also to increase the tejas of Shatakratu, the Indra who was there earlier.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

If kaamya karmaas are to be done, whoever is the Bruhaspati, for the king, he should not do by himself, unless he is asked by the king. Bruhaspati has to be requested specifically by the yajamaana, that he wants to do this kaamya karma, otherwise he will not do by himself. Bruhaspati did not know this desire, as Indra did not explicitly ask him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 20:

Because of the effect of the aabhichaarika karma, they (Raji's sons) had buddhi moha, they were confused, did not know what is dharma, what is adharma, they started hating Brahmins, and gave up dharma, and were opposed to whatever is told in the Vedaas. They gave up dharma, and were opposed to whatever Veda says.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 21:

Because they lost all the dharma aacharane, their tejas reduced, and Indra's tejas having increased, he killed all of them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 22:

With the increased tejas that Indra got, because of the aabhichaarika karma which the purohita Bruhaspati did, he occupied his position back.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 23:

One who listens to the story of how Indra lost his position, and again regained it back, such a person will never lose his position. He will also not become wicked. He will always be good. This is the phala for one who listens to this story.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 24:

The other son of Pururavas, Rambha did not have any children.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 25:

Kshatravruddha's son was Pratikshatra.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Earlier also the vamsha of Kshatravruddha was told – Kaashya and others, they are supposed to be the sons of Kshatravruddha's son Suhotra. They were all Brahmins. Here, only the Kshatriya vamsha is being told.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 26:

Pratikshatra had a son by name Sanjaya, his son was Jaya, his son was Vijaya, then Kruta.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 27:

Kshatravruddha's (second son of Pururavas) vamsha is Haryadhana, then Sahadeva, then Adeena, then Jayatsena, then Samkruti, then Kshatradharmaa.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 4, Chapter 9, Shloka 28:

Now, I am going to tell you Nahusha's vamsha.

This concludes Chapter 9.
