Indras-(1) Chamarendra, and (2) Balindra. Naag Kumars have two Indras-(1) Dharanendra, and (2) Bhootanand. Each of the two Indras command four Lok-pals under them who in turn rule over other gods under them. This degree of command, rights, opulence, power and influence applies to all gods. Of the six names in each list in aphorism 3 the first two are Indras and the following four are their Lok-pals. Thus there are 20 Indras and 80 Lok-pals.
Basically abode dwelling gods have two classes—the northern and the southern. The overlords including Indras and Lok-pals of the ten kinds of abode drrelling gods have been listed here. After that is the list of the first Lok-pals of the overlords of the abode dwelling gods of the south from Soma to Avart. (There names also appear in Sthananga Sutra, 4/1)
