Indra’s Prayers and the Coronation of Śrī Kṛṣṇa as Govinda
Govindābhiṣeka
गम्यतां शक्र भद्रं व: क्रियतां मेऽनुशासनम् । स्थीयतां स्वाधिकारेषु युक्तैर्व: स्तम्भवर्जितै: ॥ १७ ॥
gamyatāṁ śakra bhadraṁ vaḥ kriyatāṁ me ’nuśāsanam sthīyatāṁ svādhikāreṣu yuktair vaḥ stambha-varjitaiḥ
舍迦罗（因陀罗）啊，你现在可以离去；遵行我的命令。安住于你被任命的天王之位，保持清醒，莫起虚妄骄慢。
Lord Kṛṣṇa here addresses Indra in the plural form ( vaḥ ) because this grave instruction was meant to be a lesson for all the demigods.
