Translation
Maitreya said: The Supreme Lord, master of sacrifice, and the enjoyer of sacrifice, appeared along with Indra, and, satisfied with Pṛthu, spoke. In the Twentieth Chapter, after being instructed by the Lord, Pṛthu makes friends with Indra and praises the Lord. The Lord gives him benedictions and then departs. The Lord, bringing his portion Indra, has Pṛthu make peace with Indra, and then gives instructions.

Personal Guidance
Satisfied by 99 sacrifices, Viṣṇu Himself appears — bringing Indra with Him. The Lord arrives with the very party you almost punished; mercy uses unexpected escorts.
Reflection Questions
  • Whom would the Lord bring to me as part of His own arrival that I've been refusing to receive?
  • Where would my expecting an enemy beside Him reframe my next encounter?
