The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
हर्षेण निर्भराः सर्वे पूजयंतो महौजसः । ब्रह्माद्याश्च त्रयो देवाः कश्यपोथ बृहस्पतिः
harṣeṇa nirbharāḥ sarve pūjayaṃto mahaujasaḥ | brahmādyāśca trayo devāḥ kaśyapotha bṛhaspatiḥ
Todos, rebosantes de júbilo, adoraban a aquel poderoso y resplandeciente: Brahmā y los otros tres dioses, así como Kaśyapa y Bṛhaspati.
Narrator (context not provided to identify the dialogue speaker precisely)
Concept: Joy finds its highest expression in pūjā; even the greatest beings respond to divine radiance with worship and humility.
Application: Convert happiness into gratitude: when good fortune arises, offer a simple pūjā—lamp, water, flowers, and sincere prayer—so success becomes sanctified rather than ego-driven.
