Educational Q&A

Power and victory are framed as legitimate when grounded in protection (pāti) and cosmic order: Indra’s triumph over the Asuras is presented not as aggression for its own sake, but as the safeguarding of the world.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa describes Indra’s Vaijayanta—his victorious, well-endowed abode—and states that Indra (Śatakratu) defeats the Asuras and thereby protects the entire world.
