O demigods, I instruct you to approach
Visvarupa, the son of
Tvasta, and accept him as your
guru. He is a pure and very powerful
brahmana undergoing austerity and penances. Pleased by your worship, he will fulfill your desires, provided that you tolerate his being inclined to side with the demons.
Lord
Brahma advised the demigods to accept the son of
Tvasta as their spiritual master although he was always inclined toward the benefit of the
asuras.
