He fumed with anger and aimed his arrow at Indra.

As the ‘Yajaman’ of the Yagam, Prithu should not kill any one or involve in any sort of act of violence. So the Rishis obstructed him and now they tried to kill Indra with their power. Then Lord Brahma appeared there and stopped them saying, “do you think it is possible to kill Indra, who is incarnation of Bhagavan? And do you think it is proper to kill for the Yagam? Are you trying to protect the Yagam or are you destroying it?”.

Brahma continued, “look at the fake Sadhus created by Indra, they are misguiding and destroying people every where.  Oh mighty King, you have completed ninety nine Yagas, that is more than enough. Doing one more Yagam is not very important for you, as your fame is already matchless. For the one who aims at Moksham, doing a Karmam is not much relevant.  So, please withdraw yourself from this destructive competition with Indra as you both come from the same Lord Sri Hari.

Please realize that when you do something against the will of the Lord, your mind will be confused and agitated. It will not have the clarity to take wise decisions. So, please obey us and stop this Yagam”.
