The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
आजग्मुस्ते महात्मानो हर्षनिर्भरमानसाः । तस्मिञ्जाते महाभागे भगवंतो महौजसि
ājagmuste mahātmāno harṣanirbharamānasāḥ | tasmiñjāte mahābhāge bhagavaṃto mahaujasi
Da kamen jene Großgesinnten, deren Geist von Freude überströmte, als der höchst begnadete, machtvolle und strahlende Herr geboren wurde.

Application: Notice what increases sattva and joy without agitation—kīrtana, nāma-japa, darśana, service; let devotional joy become a compass for daily choices.
