## Adipurana
The celestial nymphs, adorned with ornaments, were moving around the sleeping Indra, their eyes filled with desire. They were captivating with their glances, their cheeks glowing, their feet spreading, their hands adorned, their faces smiling, their eyes blooming, their bodies radiating with color, and their navels submerged. Their waistbands were moving, and their sashes were slipping, as if they were dancing. The dramatic essence of the play was increasing, and it was as if it was manifesting in the bodies of the celestial beings.
The best movements of Indra's body while dancing were being replicated by all the other characters, as if Indra had distributed his movements among them. The rasa, bhavas, anubhavas, and gestures of Indra's dance were also present in all the other characters, as if Indra had infused his soul into them.
Indra was dancing with the celestial nymphs on his arms, making them dance, as if he were a puppeteer, making wooden puppets dance on the strings of a machine. He was lifting the celestial nymphs into the sky, making them dance in front of him, and then making them disappear in an instant. He was like a magician, performing tricks.
Indra was moving the celestial nymphs around on his arms, as if he were a juggler, showing off his dexterity. He was dancing on his arms, which were like branches, while making the young gods and goddesses dance on his other arms. He was displaying his amazing power.
The gods and goddesses were dancing in circles on the stage, which was Indra's arms. Indra was like a sutradhar, a master of the art of drama, who knew the Vedas.
The dance was a combination of two styles: one was fierce and powerful, like the Tandava dance, and the other was graceful and delicate, like the Lasya dance.
