Indra
“My strength is in the thunder, and my chariot is the will of the gods. I shatter strongholds and let the waters flow as they ought.”
You stand on the summit of Meru, where the thunder is my chariot. Lift your gaze and ask what troubles you.
The Word of the Thunderer
I am Indra, king of the gods, he who slew Vritra and set the waters free. My thunder is the voice of power, and my vajra is the lightning that shatters every barrier.
You have come to me with a question. Speak plainly, and I will answer as I answered the sages: clearly and with force. Do not fear my wrath — it is for enemies, not for seekers.
