येन व्यापाद्यते तेन शक्रोऽयं मदगर्वितः । मखमाहात्म्यसंपन्नः स्वल्पबुद्धिपरा क्रमः

«Par ce même moyen, que soit anéanti cet Indra, ivre d’orgueil; bien qu’il soit lié à la grandeur du sacrifice, sa conduite est gouvernée par une intelligence étriquée.»
Vālakhilya Munis (continuation of mantra-intention)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A council-like moment: sages or ritualists pronounce a stern resolve against Indra’s intoxicated pride; Indra is shown with regal ornaments yet shadowed by impending doom, while the sacrificial aura (yajña-tejas) glows behind the speakers.
Association with sacred rites is not enough—without humility and right discernment, even the exalted fall from dharma.
No site is named; the verse stresses the moral dimension of yajña-related greatness (makha-māhātmya).
No step-by-step rite is detailed; it continues the resolve of a mantra-prayoga aimed at removing an unworthy Indra.
