The sages began to chant hymns in front of her. The gandharvas sang, the apsaras danced. Rivers like the Ganga arrived so that Lakshmi could have a bath. There are eight elephants who protect the directions. These elephants took clear water from golden vessels and bathed the goddess. The ocean gave her a garland of lotus flowers which would not fade. Vishvakarma provided the jewels. Thus bathed, dressed, jewelled and garlanded, Lakshmi embraced Vishnu. Since the demons did not like Vishnu, this meant that Lakshmi had forsaken the demons. And lakshmi smiled upon the gods. The demons did managed to get hold of the pot of amrita. But Vishnu adopted a female form to trick the demons of the amrita and give it to the gods.

The gods drank the amrita and attacked the demons with sword. The amrita had made the gods strong and the demons were no match for them. Their armies scattered and they fled into the underworld. The gods were delighted. They bowed before Vishnu and continued to rule over heaven. The sun went back to its old path across the sky. So did the stars. Indra ascended his throne and ruled over the three worlds, after having prayed to Lakshmi.
