Lord vishnu asks Prthu Maharaj to forgive Indra

Lord Indra disturbs Prthu Maharaj's 100th ashvamedha yagna as he doesnt want Prithu Maharaj to surpass him in being known as one who has performed 100 horse sacrifices.
However later he comes with Lord Vishnu to Prthu Maharaj to ask for forgiveness.
Lord Vishnu says the following powerful words asking Prthu Maharaj to forgive Indra.

Synopsis:
Whenever we feel offended we must realize that it arises from the bodily conception of life.For one who is advanced in spiritual life situated in the real ego, does not feel offended as He discovers that pleasure and pain as well as their interactions, which he attributed to his own self, are actually due to the false ego, which is a product of ignorance.

Knowing that the Lord's position as the ultimate giver of sanction and the condition soul's position as always empowered by Maya, saintly persons do not take seriously the offenses of the materialists - Ref:Unveiling His Lotus feet SB 4.6.47

Reference verses:

SB 4.20.3: O King, one who is advanced in intelligence and eager to perform welfare activities for others is considered best amongst human beings. An advanced human being is never malicious to others. Those with advanced intelligence are always conscious that this material body is different from the soul.

SB 4.20.4: If a personality like you, who are so much advanced because of executing the instructions of the previous ācāryas, is carried away by the influence of My material energy, then all your advancement may be considered simply a waste of time.

SB 4.20.5: Those who are in full knowledge of the bodily conception of life, who know that this body is composed of nescience, desires and activities resulting from illusion, do not become addicted to the body.
