इन्द्रस्य दुःखप्राप्तिः—त्रिशिरोवधः, वृत्रोत्पत्तिः, जृम्भिकाजननम्
Indra’s Distress: Slaying of Triśiras, Birth of Vṛtra, and the Origin of Yawning
समेत्य सह शक्रेण त्वष्टस्तेजोविमोहिता: । आमन्त्रयन्त ते सर्वे मुनिभि: सह भारत
sametya saha śakreṇa tvaṣṭas tejo-vimohitāḥ | āmantrayanta te sarve munibhiḥ saha bhārata ||
Шалья сказал: «О Бхарата, все боги, смущённые грозной силой Тваштри (Tvaṣṭṛ), собрались вместе с Шакрой (Индрой) и, вместе с мудрецами, стали совещаться: “Что нам теперь делать?”»
शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
When overwhelmed by another’s power (tejas), even the mighty must pause, seek wise counsel, and act through deliberation rather than panic—an ethical reminder that right action begins with clear judgment and guidance.
The gods, shaken by Tvaṣṭṛ’s potency, gather with Indra and the sages to consult on their next course of action, signaling a moment of strategic and moral deliberation in a divine crisis.
