大王啊，当以弗栗特罗阿修罗为首的阿修罗们踏上战场时，他们看见执金刚杵的释迦因陀罗，被鲁陀罗、婆苏、阿底提耶、阿湿毗尼双神、祖灵众、火神众、摩鲁特、利布、萨提耶与毗湿伐提婆等天众环绕。因陀罗以自身的吉祥威光而灿然辉耀，其光辉令群魔难以忍受。
FAQs
In this verse, Śukadeva describes Indra arriving with many classes of demigods (Rudras, Vasus, Ādityas, Aśvins, etc.), showing that the devas unite under divine order to confront Vṛtra’s forces.
The verse states they “could not tolerate” Indra’s radiance and glory; their envy and hostility intensified when they saw the thunderbolt-bearing Indra, so they rushed forward led by Vṛtra.
It highlights how envy makes one unable to tolerate another’s success or divine favor; cultivating humility and devotion helps replace rivalry with inner steadiness and dharmic action.
