O King! We will call Indra, the destroyer of your goal, who has lost his power, to this sacrifice by fresh mantras and without delay will forcibly offer him into the fire. “What is the remedy in this situation?” They explain. We will call him using beckoning prayers, āhvana-mantras (upahavaiḥ), whose power is not worn out (ayātayāma). Though this particular Indra was an avatāra of the Lord, and the priests were not materialists, they spoke in this way to show the nature of those following the path of karma: even intelligent persons on this path become blind. As Brahmā becomes blind by lust, Śiva becomes blind by anger, so the nature of Indra who is avatāra of Viṣṇu is revealed to have envy and crookedness.
