シャクラ（インドラ）は言った。「女神よ、人々のうち真に善き者、婆羅門を敬い、真実に堅く立つ者たち――その清らかな徳ある人々に、汝の第四の『足』（負担の分）を担わせよ。高貴なる者は、耐えるべきものを耐え抜く力を具えている。」

Educational Q&A
The verse praises truthfulness, reverence for sacred virtue (brahmaṇyatā), and especially titikṣā (forbearance). It teaches that the truly noble can shoulder difficult responsibilities for the sake of order and righteousness.
Indra addresses a goddess-like figure (implied by the Hindi gloss) and proposes that the ‘fourth share’ of her burden be borne by virtuous, truthful, Brāhmaṇa-devoted people among humans, since such good persons are capable of endurance.
