Puṣkara-Śapatha Itihāsa (Agastya–Indra Dispute at the Tīrthas) | पुष्कर-शपथ-आख्यानम्
तपोधनो! राजा वृषादर्भिने इसे भेजा था
bhīṣma uvāca | tato maharṣayaḥ prītās tathety uktvā puraṃdaram sahaiva tridaśendreṇa sarve jagmus triviṣṭapam |
Bhīṣma dit : Ô Yudhiṣṭhira, en entendant les paroles d’Indra, les grands sages furent comblés de joie. Disant à Purandara (Indra) : « Qu’il en soit ainsi », ils acceptèrent son ordre. Puis, avec le seigneur des Trente dieux, ils partirent tous pour Triviṣṭapa — le ciel.

Educational Q&A
The episode reinforces that abandoning greed and aligning with dharma brings lasting spiritual reward; divine authority (Indra) confirms the fruit of such conduct as access to imperishable heavenly realms.
After Indra speaks, the assembled great seers joyfully assent (“tathāstu”) and, accompanying Indra, depart together to Triviṣṭapa (heaven), marking the completion of their vindication and reward.
