He destroys the wicked and fulfill the desires of the righteous. That destroyer of Bala assigns to all creatures their various duties. He officiates for the sun and the moon in places where there is no sun and the moon. When occasion requires he acts for fire, air, earth and water. These are the duties of Indra. His capacities are immense. You, too, are greatly powerful; therefore, O hero, become our Indra.
दुर्वृत्तानां संहरति व्रतस्थानां प्रयच्छति। अनुशास्ति च भूतानि कार्येषु बलसूदनः॥ असूर्ये च भवेत् सूर्यस्तथाचन्द्रे च चन्द्रमाः। भवत्यग्निश्च वायुश्च पृथिव्यापश्च कारणैः॥ एतदिन्द्रेण कर्तव्यमिन्द्रे हि विपुलं बलम्। त्वं च वीर बली श्रेष्ठस्तस्मादिन्द्रो भवस्व नः॥
