Indra’s Brahma-hatyā, Flight from Sin, and Purification by Aśvamedha
हयमेधेन पुरुषं परमात्मानमीश्वरम् । इष्ट्वा नारायणं देवं मोक्ष्यसेऽपि जगद्वधात् ॥ ७ ॥
hayamedhena puruṣaṁ paramātmānam īśvaram iṣṭvā nārāyaṇaṁ devaṁ mokṣyase ’pi jagad-vadhāt
诸仙继续说道：噢，因陀罗，行马祭以取悦至上人格神——作为超灵的主宰那罗延，便能解除即使屠戮整个世界所招致的罪业；更何况只是诛杀如弗利特罗阿修罗这般的魔类。
FAQs
This verse states that by worshiping Lord Nārāyaṇa—the Supreme Person and Paramātmā—through a prescribed sacrifice like Aśvamedha, one can be released even from extremely grave sinful reactions.
Indra was burdened by the reaction of killing Vṛtrāsura; Brahmā advised a Vedic atonement centered on worship of Nārāyaṇa so that Indra could be purified and freed from that sin.
Seek purification through sincere devotion to the Lord and responsible remedial action for wrongdoing—turning to Nārāyaṇa with repentance and steady spiritual practice rather than denying or hiding faults.
