Dhūpa–Dīpa–Bali Phala Praśna; Nahūṣa–Agastya–Bhṛgu Saṃvāda
Incense, Lamp, and Bali Offerings; the Nahūṣa Dialogue
अद्यन्द्रं स्थापयिष्यामि पश्यतस्ते शतक्रतुम् । संचाल्य पापकर्माणमैन्द्रात् स्थानात् सुदुर्मतिम्
adyendraṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi paśyatas te śatakratum | sañcālya pāpakarmāṇam aindrāt sthānāt sudurmatim ||
アガスティヤは言った。「今日、汝の眼前にて、我はシャタクラトゥ(インドラ)を復位させよう。悪行の徒、邪心の者をインドラの座より追い払い、正しき主を再び玉座に据えるのだ。」
अगस्त्य उवाच
The verse emphasizes restoration of rightful authority and the removal of corrupt, sinful rule: moral order (dharma) requires that an unworthy usurper be expelled and the legitimate holder of office be re-established.
Agastya declares that he will, in the listeners’ presence, expel a wicked-minded wrongdoer from Indra’s position and reinstall Indra (Śatakratu) on the divine throne.
