Luego, por afecto, al ver a Indra—cuyo corcel es de color leonado—contemplando la arena, el dios Sol también dispersó las nubes que se habían reunido cerca, despejando el cielo. La escena subraya cómo los poderes divinos, movidos por estima personal, apartan los obstáculos y devuelven la claridad en un instante decisivo.

Affection and goodwill (sneha) can become a force that removes hindrances: the verse portrays nature itself being cleared by divine agency, suggesting that supportive powers—when aligned with a worthy occasion—help restore clarity and auspicious order.
Indra is described as watching the arena, and the Sun-god (Bhāskara) also acts by dispersing the nearby clouds, clearing the sky—an auspicious, supportive sign around the public spectacle.
