Maharaja Pariksit inquired from Sukadeva Gosvami: O great sage, why did the spiritual master of the demigods,
Brhaspati, reject the demigods, who were his own disciples? What offense did the demigods commit against their spiritual master? Please describe to me this incident.
"This Seventh Chapter describes how
Brhaspati was offended by the demigods, how he left them and the demigods were defeated, and how the demigods, following the instructions of Lord
Brahma, accepted
Visvarupa as the priest to perform their sacrifice."
