滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� and 艢奴rapadma.
An Asura called 艢奴rapadma once coveted 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹�. He deputed his men to fetch 艢补肠墨 somehow or other to him. Hearing about this, Indra, keeping 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� with him, went to and stayed in the Ch墨y膩li temple in 碍辞峁卥补峁嘺诲别艣补, and afterwards Indra went to Mount 碍补颈濒腻蝉补 after asking 艢腻蝉迟腻 to guard 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹�. During Indra鈥檚 absence Aj膩mukh墨, sister of 艢奴rapadma met 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� and induced her to become 艢奴rapadma鈥檚 wife. 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� refused. Ultimately Indra returned and took 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� back to Devaloka.
