The mighty Asura had grown up;

On seeing Devas, he would snub;

Ruthless, tyrant, his one glimpse and others would shudder;

Following the footsteps of his mother;

He also did intense penance;

To seek boon that could satisfy his vengeance;

History was about to be repeated;

‘Om Brahma Devaye Namo Namah’, he reiterated;

It took years of tapas so that his voice was heard;

Pleased with his bhakti, Lord Brahma appeared;

He asked him to wish whatever he desired;

Darika had two wishes to be granted;

First, he shouldn't be killed by any Devas;

Nor any man, Rakshasas, Danavas and Asuras;

Second, he should possess strength of hundred elephants;

His wishes were granted, pondered upon his strategy that was planned in advance.
