The lord of heaven was then worshipped with hymns by all the gods and the Rishis. He continued to rule in heaven, purged off of the sin of Brahmanicide which was divided into four parts and ordained to live in woman, fire, trees, and kine. It was thus that Indra, strengthened by the energy of a Brahmana, succeeded in killing his enemy it was thus that Indra once more regained his position.
