पर्याप्तक होते ही जिसे अपने जन्मका ज्ञान हो गया है ऐसे इन्द्रका फिर उत्तमदेव लोग इन्द्राभिषेक करते हैं ॥१९५।। दिव्य संगीत, दिव्य बाजे, दिव्य मंगलगीतोंके शब्द और अप्सराओंके विचित्र नृत्योंसे जिसका इन्द्राभिषेक सम्पन्न हुआ है, जो अपने सामाज्यके मुख्य चिह्नस्वरूप देदीप्यमान मुकुटको धारण कर रहा है, हर्षको प्राप्त हुए करोड़ों देव जिसका जयजयकार कर रहे हैं जो उत्तम मालाएं और वस्त्र धारण किये हुए है तथा देदीप्यमान वस्त्राभूषणोंसे सुशोभित है ऐसा वह इन्द्र इन्द्र के पदपर आरूढ़ होकर अत्यन्त पूजाको प्राप्त होता है ॥१९६-१९८॥ यह चौंतीसवीं इन्द्राभिषेक क्रिया है।
तदनन्तर नम्रीभूत हुए इन उत्तम उत्तम देवोंको अपने अपने पदपर नियुक्त करता हुआ वह इन्द्र विधिदान क्रियामें प्रवृत्त होता है ॥१९९॥ अपने अपने विमानोंकी ऋद्धि देनेसे संतुष्ट हुए देवोंसे घिरा हुआ वह पुण्यात्मा इन्द्र चिरकालतक देवोंके सुखोंका अनुभव करता है ॥२०॥
