قال يُوبَرْنَة: «يا براهمَرِشي، إنّ أصلَ رخاء الآلهة وجذرَ نعمتهم هناك، حيث مُسِحَ شَكْرَةُ (إندرا) أولَ مرةٍ بالتتويج لسيادة مملكة الآلهة. يا براهمَرِشي، وفي تلك الجهة نفسها مارسَت الآلهةُ التَّقشّف.»

Educational Q&A
Prosperity and rightful sovereignty are portrayed as grounded in sacred order: Indra’s legitimate rule is established through consecration, and divine success is linked to disciplined austerity (tapas) rather than mere power.
Yuparṇa points out a revered locus/quarter associated with the gods: it is where Indra was first anointed as king of the devas and where the gods undertook austerities, marking it as a foundational source of divine fortune.
