The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
सांगोपांगैश्च संयुक्तास्तस्मिञ्जाते महौजसि । त्रैलोक्ये यानि सत्वानि पुण्ययुक्तानि सत्तम
sāṃgopāṃgaiśca saṃyuktāstasmiñjāte mahaujasi | trailokye yāni satvāni puṇyayuktāni sattama
Tatkala yang mahaperkasa lagi bercahaya itu lahir, semua makhluk di tiga alam—beserta anggota dan bahagian pelengkapnya—menjadi terikat dengan pahala kebajikan, wahai yang terbaik antara orang saleh.
Unspecified (narrative verse; likely within a Pulastya–Bhīṣma frame typical of Bhūmi-khaṇḍa, but not explicit from the single verse)
Concept: The advent of a mahaujasa (mighty, radiant) being increases puṇya and cohesion across existence; dharma has a contagious, world-stabilizing effect.
Application: Keep company with the virtuous and cultivate sattva (truthful speech, compassion, mantra/japa): goodness ‘joins’ and multiplies when anchored in a luminous exemplar.
