Indra

(, Sanskrit: इन्द्र) is the leader of the Devas and the lord of Svargaloka or a level of Heaven in Hinduism. He is the deva of rain and thunderstorms. He wields a lightning thunderbolt known as vajra and rides on a white elephant known as Airavata. His horse's name is Uchchaihshrava. Indra is the most important deity worshiped by the Rigvedic tribes and is the son of Dyaus and the goddess Savasi. His home is situated on Mount Meru in the heavens. He is celebrated as a demiurge who pushes up the sky, releases Ushas (dawn) from the Vala cave, and slays Vṛtra; both latter actions are central to the Soma sacrifice. He is associated with Vajrapani - the Chief Dharmapala. On the other hand, he also commits many kinds of mischief (kilbiṣa) for which he is sometimes punished. In the Puranas, Indra is bestowed with a heroic and almost brash and amorous character at times, even as his reputation and role diminished in later Hinduism with the rise of the Trimurti.

Then Indra turned the prow of the cat toward the land, and headed straight for shore.

For the next ten minutes, they elaborated this fantasy into a startling thesis on reptile intelligence, which, far from gaining Indra new qualifications, would undoubtedly have cost her the degree she already possessed.

By the time they had reached the cat they were very hungry, and Franklin began to unpack the food hamper with unconcealed eagerness while Indra started working on the stove.

It was the smell of the fuel that Indra had siphoned from the hydrojet —the unmistakable, slightly aromatic tang of synthene.

As Indra crouched over him, she realized that between his sobs he was calling a name— and even at such a moment as this she could not depress a stab of jealousy.

When Indra reached out to hold his hand again, he stiffened defensively in a way which said, without actually rejecting her, that he would prefer no such contact.

He felt a mild and wistful sadness that Indra must now begin again her search for the happiness he might have given her.

The chief instructor was biting his lip nervously, Don Burley sat looking stunned, and Indra was trying not to cry.

But it was noticeable that the wives of all the wardens posted to this duty very soon afterward sported pearl necklaces or earrings—and Indra was no exception to this rule.

Presently Indra heard indignant noises coming from the living room, and called out: “What’s the matter?
