Verse 19

¹⁹And the Maruts were Diti's sons, forty-nine of them. They were all without children of their own, and Indra brought them into a state like his own. ²⁰How did they throw off the demon nature they were born with, teacher, and how were they brought by Indra into likeness with himself? What good had they done? ²¹These sages here trust it along with me, brahmin. So that we may know it fully, revered one, you ought to explain it to us. ²²Hearing that speech of Visnu's protected one, respectful and short and full of matter, the son of Badarayana, who sees everything, honoured it and spoke with a mind altogether settled, Satrayana.
