قال بهيشما: ثم جاء إندرا—ذو الألف عين، المعروف أيضًا بشَكرا (Śakra)، حامل الصاعقة (الفَجْرَة/الفَجْرَة: vajra)، وقاتل الشيطانين شَمْبَرا وباكا—إلى الضفة نفسها من الغانغا، وهي موضعٌ يؤمه الرِّشِيّون الإلهيون ويجلّونه.

The verse conveys that true authority is aligned with dharma: even Indra, despite his might and victories, approaches a riverbank sanctified by sages. Power is shown as properly tempered by reverence for holy places and the spiritual authority of the wise.
Bhīṣma narrates that Indra—identified through epithets (thousand-eyed, Śakra, vajra-bearer, slayer of Śambara and Pāka)—arrives at the same bank of the Gaṅgā that is attended by divine seers.
