布里哈斯帕提对因恐惧与迷惘而战栗的释迦罗尼(因陀罗尼)说道:“女神啊,我对你所说的一切必将应验。不久你就会看见天帝因陀罗归来此处。你不必畏惧那胡沙。我所言皆真:只消数日,我便使你与因陀罗重聚。”

Educational Q&A

The passage emphasizes satya (truthfulness) and steadiness in fear: wise counsel grounded in truth restores courage, and one should not be ruled by panic when dharmic order is being re-established.

Indrāṇī, distressed and frightened because of Nahuṣa’s ascendancy, is consoled by Bṛhaspati. He assures her that Indra will soon return and that she will be reunited with him, so she should not fear Nahuṣa.
