The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
एवमाभाष्य देवेशः स जगाम स्वकं गृहम् । असूत पुत्रं सा देवी काले प्राप्ते महोदये
evamābhāṣya deveśaḥ sa jagāma svakaṃ gṛham | asūta putraṃ sā devī kāle prāpte mahodaye
Nachdem der Herr der Götter so gesprochen hatte, ging er in seine eigene Wohnstatt. Zur rechten Zeit, als die glückverheißende Stunde kam, gebar jene Göttin einen Sohn.

FAQs
The verse is in third-person narration; it does not explicitly name a dialogue speaker, so it is best treated as a narrator’s statement within the chapter’s ongoing story.
It emphasizes that events—especially birth and major life-turns—are framed as occurring at a divinely fitting, auspicious moment, aligning the narrative with ideas of ṛta (cosmic order) and śubha-kāla (propitious time).
The verse suggests trust in proper timing and divine order: after rightful speech and action, outcomes unfold “in due course,” encouraging patience, faith, and steadiness in dharmic conduct.
