The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
समागतानि तत्रैव तस्मिञ्जाते महौजसि । मंगलं चक्रिरे सर्वे गीतपुण्यैर्महोत्सवैः
samāgatāni tatraiva tasmiñjāte mahaujasi | maṃgalaṃ cakrire sarve gītapuṇyairmahotsavaiḥ
Di sana juga semuanya berkumpul; dan ketika yang mahaperkasa, bercahaya itu lahir, mereka semua melakukan upacara-upacara mujarab, merayakan mahotsava dengan nyanyian suci yang menyucikan.
