अद्यन्द्रं स्थापयिष्यामि पश्यतस्ते शतक्रतुम्‌ । संचाल्य पापकर्माणमैन्द्रात्‌ स्थानात्‌ सुदुर्मतिम्‌

adyendraṁ sthāpayiṣyāmi paśyatas te śatakratum | sañcālya pāpakarmāṇam aindrāt sthānāt sudurmatim ||

ഇന്ന് നിന്റെ കണ്ണുമുന്നിൽ ഞാൻ ശതക്രതു ഇന്ദ്രനെ വീണ്ടും സ്ഥാപിക്കും. പാപകർമ്മിയായ ഈ ദുർമതിയെ ഇന്ദ്രാസനത്തിൽ നിന്ന് നീക്കി, യഥാർത്ഥാധിപനെ സിംഹാസനത്തിൽ ഇരുത്തും.

Educational Q&A

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.
