Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thereafter, by the supreme grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Hari, all the demigods, headed by Indra and Vāyu, were brought back to life. Being enlivened, the demigods began severely beating the very same demons who had defeated them before.

Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thereafter, by the supreme grace of the Supreme Lord, all the devatās, headed by Indra and Vāyu, were brought back to life and began destroying the demons who had defeated them before in battle.
In the Eleventh Chapter, Indra, using insulting words against the demons, kills Jambha and other demons. By the instruction of Nārada, when they stop killing the demons, Śukrācārya revives the demons.

Personal Guidance
By the Lord's grace, demigods were brought back to life and turned the tables on those who had defeated them. The Lord's grace does not just preserve us; it reverses our position. The same enemies who beat us yesterday can be beaten back today.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I assume that recent defeat is permanent, when grace could reverse it?
- What 'enlivening' would I need to face an opponent I previously failed against?
