Astika at the sacrifice

Entering the hall, Astika started reciting shlokas from the Vedas. He then started praising Janmajeya and his ancestors. Pleased the king asked him to ask for something for himself. Astika said he did not want anything. The king said he was looking for Takshaka. Astika said, Takshaka had taken refuge with Indra.
Janmajeya was angry. How dare Indra give shelter to an enemy?
