Just then Naradji appeared and told Gangaji that resident of the netherworld and demon king Andhakasur is very angry with the fact that the Devtas have kept her in the Swarglok (heaven). It was Andhakasur’s view that even the demons had a right over Ganga. He was jealous of the grandeur of Swarglok and he wanted to kidnap Ganga and take her to netherworld. Gangaji told him, “Don’t worry, for me demon king Andhakasur is like a son.” Here, Andhakasur ordered his army chief to prepare to attack Swarglok.
