Scorched and extremely disturbed because of Hiraṇyakaśipu’s severe penances, all the demigods left the planets where they reside and went to the planet of Lord Brahmā, where they informed the creator as follows: O lord of the demigods, O master of the universe, because of the fire emanating from Hiraṇyakaśipu’s head as a result of his severe austerities, we have become so disturbed that we could not stay in our planets but have come to you.

Translation
Scorched because of Hiraṇyakaśipu's penances, the devatās left their planets and went to Brahmaloka. They informed the creator as follows: O lord of the devatās! O master of the universe! Because of the penance of Hiraṇyakaśipu, we have become scorched and cannot stay on our planets.

Personal Guidance
Scorched and disturbed, the demigods abandon their planets and flee to Brahmā, reporting the crisis. When demonic energy rises, even the high abandon their normal stations to seek guidance from above. Crisis demands escalation to the right authority.
Reflection Questions
- What situation in your life needs to be escalated to a higher authority you have been avoiding?
- Where are you trying to handle alone what has become bigger than your post?
