It matters little whether the deity pours rain or no downpours come. Indeed, if Indra does not, of his own will, show any regard for me, I shall, in that case, change myself into Indra and keep all creatures alive. Every creature, on whatever food he has been nourished, will continue to be nourished on it as before.
वर्षिष्यतीह वा देवो न वा वर्षं भविष्यति। अथावाभ्यर्थनामिन्द्रो न करिष्यति कामतः॥ स्वयमिन्द्रो भविष्यामि जीवयिष्यामि च प्रजाः। यो यदाहारजातश्च स तथैव भविष्यति॥
