The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
हरिणा सह ते सर्वे निरातंका मुदान्विताः । सूत उवाच । अदितिः कश्यपं प्राह ऋतुं प्राप्य मनस्विनी
hariṇā saha te sarve nirātaṃkā mudānvitāḥ | sūta uvāca | aditiḥ kaśyapaṃ prāha ṛtuṃ prāpya manasvinī
వారందరూ హరితో కలిసి నిర్భయులై ఆనందంతో నిండిపోయారు. సూతుడు పలికెను—మనస్వినియైన అదితి యోగ్య ఋతువును పొందిన తరువాత కశ్యపునితో చెప్పింది.
Sūta
Concept: When actions are undertaken in the proper sacred time (ṛtu) and in Hari’s shelter, fear subsides and auspicious outcomes ripen.
Application: Choose ‘right time’ and ‘right mindset’ for major vows, prayers, and family decisions; begin undertakings with Viṣṇu-smaraṇa to reduce anxiety and increase clarity.
