Power and victory are portrayed as gaining lasting legitimacy when aligned with dharmic, sanctioned action—here symbolized by repeated performance of great sacrifices. Indra’s fame (Śatakratu) is not merely from conquest but from sustained commitment to recognized ritual order.
Vyāsa describes Indra, accompanied by the Maruts, defeating his enemies and then performing the Aśvamedha sacrifice a hundred times in succession, which earns him the celebrated title Śatakratu.
