Vyāsa said: “Even among the gods headed by Indra, it is declared that His sovereignty prevails. Because He is the Lord, He remains engaged in the world in dispensing the fruits of human actions—both auspicious and inauspicious. He alone is also taught to be the Lord who grants the fulfillment of all desires.”
