सर्वज्ञं सर्वदे देवि पुत्रमुत्पाद्य सुंदरम् । इंद्रत्वं तस्य दास्यामि इंद्रः सोपि भविष्यति
sarvajñaṃ sarvade devi putramutpādya suṃdaram | iṃdratvaṃ tasya dāsyāmi iṃdraḥ sopi bhaviṣyati
ஹே தேவி, ஹே அனைத்தையும் அருள்பவளே, அனைத்தறிவும் அழகும் கொண்ட மகனைப் பெற்ற பின், அவனுக்கு இந்திரப் பதவியை நான் அளிப்பேன்; அவனும் இந்திரனாவான்.

FAQs
It presents Indra-hood (indratva) as an office or status that can be granted, implying a transferable cosmic role rather than an absolute, permanent identity.
“Sarvade” means “giver of all,” highlighting Devī as the source of boons and fulfillment, and framing the request/assurance in the language of divine bestowal.
It underscores that power and rank are conferred and contingent; therefore, one should value merit, duty, and divine grace over pride in position.
