Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 3.4.38

‘‘ The glorious Lord of lords that always goes to the end of (accomplishes) what He begins, punishes those of wicked nature (by casting them into hell and lifts up those that are other than the aforesaid, i.e.t those of good nature, enabling these to rise from the mundane existence; the Lord who does not like him that tries to exceed his eligibility, who is the king of the two classes of beings (Devas and Asuras), ever keeps men in the cycle of samsara ” (Rv. VI. 47. 16). This text makes it plain that the gods are the receptacle of special grace of the Supreme Lord. The Bhavishyatparvan says : “ This Vishnu inflicts punishment on the Asuras, leads the gods to His abode and makes men to move again and again in the cycle of life.”
