Indra said I do no wish to have this celestial dominion. I do not desire to have the sovereignty of the gods. I do not wish to have the region of Brahman. Indeed, I do not wish to have that extinction of individual existence which is called Liberation and which is a complete oneness with Brahma. But I want to become the slave of Hara.
इन्द्र उवाच न नाकपृष्ठं न च देवराज्यं न ब्रह्मलोकं न च निष्फलत्वम्। न सर्वकामानखिलान् वृणोमि हरस्य दासत्वमहं वृणोमि॥
