Thereafter, Indra released himself from the cage of the network of arrows. Appearing with his chariot, flag, horses and chariot driver and thus pleasing the sky, the earth and all directions, he shone effulgently like the sun at the end of night. Indra was bright and beautiful in the vision of everyone.

Translation
Thereafter, Indra, along with his horses, chariot, and driver emerged from the cage of arrows and lit up the direction, the sky and the earth with his brilliance, just as the sun lights up the sky at the end of night.
Turāsāṭ means Indra. Agraṇiḥ is a charioteer.

Personal Guidance
Indra released himself from the arrow-cage and shone like the sun at end of night, pleasing sky, earth, and all directions. Apparent absence ends with brilliant return. Sometimes the leader emerges more glorious for having been briefly hidden.
Reflection Questions
- When the Lord seems absent, do I despair, or do I expect a more glorious reappearance?
- What recent 're-emergence' in my life — mine or another's — was more beautiful than the original visibility?
