इन्द्र उवाच । वरं वरय राजर्षे यत्ते मनसि वर्त्तते । ब्रह्मविष्णुत्रिनेत्राणामहमीशो नृपोतम
indra uvāca | varaṃ varaya rājarṣe yatte manasi varttate | brahmaviṣṇutrinetrāṇāmahamīśo nṛpotama
Indra disse: "Escolha uma bênção, ó sábio real - o que quer que esteja em sua mente. Ó melhor dos reis, eu sou o senhor sobre Brahmā, Viṣṇu e o de Três Olhos (Śiva)."
Indra
Tirtha: Arbuda-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Indra speaks confidently, offering any boon, portrayed as radiant and commanding; Ambārīṣa remains composed, creating tension between spectacle and serenity.
It sets up a Purāṇic contrast: claims of power and authority are tested against the devotee’s discernment and higher spiritual aim.
No tīrtha is identified in this verse; it is part of the Arbuda-khaṇḍa’s didactic narrative.
None; Indra is urging the asking of a boon.
