Lakshmi Stuti

Durvasa, furious at the disrespectful treatment of his gift, proclaimed that the garland had been the dwelling of Sri (fortune) and cursed Indra, stating that the latter would lose his dominion over the universe.

The devas lost their strength due to a blight on Amaravati, the non-performance of sacrifices, and the loss of the devotion of human beings.

After being propitiated, Vishnu appeared, and advised the devas to do perform the churning of the ocean of milk with the help of the asuras.

The goddess Ganga, as well as the Ashtadiggajas, the elephants of the eight cardinal directions, bathed her, and the divine architect, Vishvakarma, offered her ornaments.

After the amrita (nectar of immortality) had been offered to the devas, they were able to vanquish the asuras in battle, and the sovereignty of the three worlds was restored to Indra.
