The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
सांगोपांगैश्च संयुक्तास्तस्मिञ्जाते महौजसि । त्रैलोक्ये यानि सत्वानि पुण्ययुक्तानि सत्तम
sāṃgopāṃgaiśca saṃyuktāstasmiñjāte mahaujasi | trailokye yāni satvāni puṇyayuktāni sattama
Als jener mächtige, strahlende geboren wurde, wurden alle Wesen in den drei Welten—mit ihren Gliedern und Nebenbestandteilen—mit Verdienst verbunden, o Bester der Guten.
Unspecified (narrative verse; likely within a Pulastya–Bhīṣma frame typical of Bhūmi-khaṇḍa, but not explicit from the single verse)
Concept: The advent of a mahaujasa (mighty, radiant) being increases puṇya and cohesion across existence; dharma has a contagious, world-stabilizing effect.
Application: Keep company with the virtuous and cultivate sattva (truthful speech, compassion, mantra/japa): goodness ‘joins’ and multiplies when anchored in a luminous exemplar.
