当因陀罗（Purandara）举起金刚杵，欲阻止阿湿毗尼双子（Aśvinī）领取其在祭祀中应得之份时，圣仙遮婆那（Cyavana）使因陀罗双臂僵住，不能动弹。

Educational Q&A
Rightful entitlement within dharma—here, the prescribed sacrificial share—should not be denied by mere power or status. Even Indra’s authority is restrained when it conflicts with justice, showing that tapas and moral order can check arrogance.
Indra raises his vajra to block the Aśvinī twins from receiving their fixed portion in a sacrifice. Sage Cyavana intervenes and paralyzes Indra’s arms, preventing the act and asserting the Aśvins’ legitimate claim.
