Vāsudeva’s Upadeśa: The Inner Enemy and the Indra–Vṛtra Precedent (आत्मशत्रु-बोधः; इन्द्र-वृत्रोपाख्यानम्)
शतक्रतुरभिक्रुद्धस्तत्र वज़मवासृजत् । जब आकाश वृत्रासुरमय हो गया और उसके शब्दरूपी विषयका अपहरण होने लगा, तब शतक्रतु इन्द्रको बड़ा क्रोध हुआ और उन्होंने वहाँ भी उसपर वज्रका प्रहार किया

ヴァーユは言った。「百の供犠の主インドラは激しく憤り、その場で金剛杵（ヴァジュラ）を投げ放った。」

The verse highlights the ethical danger of krodha (anger): when rage governs action, even a powerful agent resorts to immediate violence. It implicitly contrasts impulsive retaliation with dharmic restraint and measured response.
Vāyu narrates that Indra (Śatakratu), provoked and furious, releases his vajra at that very spot—an escalation in a divine confrontation where force is chosen as the response to perceived threat or loss.
