Behold these retreats of the Daityas for rest and pleasure, these beds of theirs for sleeping, this costly furniture of theirs adorned with precious stones, and also these seats for their use. Behold these hills of theirs, resembling clouds, these springs of water, these trees that move at will and bear every fruit and flower one could wish for. See, O Matali, whether there is a bridegroom here acceptable to you. If none can be found, we shall, if you wish, go from here to some other part of the world.' To this Matali replied to Narada, saying: 'O celestial Rishi, I ought not to do anything that might displease the dwellers of heaven. The gods and the danavas, though brothers, are ever at enmity with one another. How then could I form an alliance with our enemies? So let us go to some other place. I ought not to seek among the danavas. As for you, I know that your heart is ever bent on kindling quarrels.'
