Bhagavati Sūtra Bk. 3 Ch. 1
When Asurakumāra gods and goddesses, residents of metropolis Balicañcă, made a request like that to the heretical monk Tamali, he neither welcomed, nor accepted, their prayer, but kept silent. Thereon, Asurakumāra gods and goddesses, moved thrice round Tamali, born of Maurya parents, till, oh beloved of the gods, our metropolis Balicañcă is without an Indra, till take a firm resolve about it and this they did and said for the second time, and for the third time, but Tamali remained silent as before.. Now, as the Asurakumāra gods and goddesses, who were the residents of metropolis Balicañca, were thus disrespected by the heretical monk Tamali, and their words were not duly honoured, they went back in the direction from whence they emerged.

[ Tāmali takes birth in Iśāna-kalpa ]
In that period, at that time, Iśāna-kalpa was without an Indra, without a Priest. The said monk Tamali, having spent full 60,000 years in the order of monks, linked up his soul with the penance of the final fast, missed in all 120 meals, and, on completion of his time here, was born, because of the absence of a Indra, on the divine couch, covered with a piece of divine cloth, of the thickness of an infinite fraction of a finger, in the Hall of Genesis in Indra's excellent palace, Iśānāvatam śaka, in Iśāna-kalpa, as Indra of the said heaven. Iśāna, the Indra of the gods, their king, immediately on birth, acquired an endowment of five attainments, which were, attainment of food, ... till of expression and mind.
