O
the title of Indrajit. It was only at the intercession of Brahma and the gods that Indra was released, and this humiliation was regarded as a punishment for his seduction of Ahalya. He is also represented as being in constant dread of sages practising potent penances, and as sending down nymphs to beguile their minds (see Ipsaras). In the Puranas he is said to have destroyed the offspring of Diti in her womb, and to have cut off the wings of mountains when they grew troublesome. Other stories are also told in which Indra was once worsted by Raia, grandson of l'urura vas, owing to the curse of Durvāsas, and other accounts show that he and Krisna were at war with each other for the Parijata tree which the latter wanted to remove from Svarga, and which he succeeded in doing in spite of Indra's resistance. His wife is Indrani, the daughter of the demon Puloman, and his son is named Jayanta. He is also said to be father of Arjuna. His opithets are numerous; mostly descriptive of his achievements, c. g. 27, बलभिद्, पाकशासन, गोत्रभिद्, पुरंदर, शतऋतु, जिष्णु, नमुचिसूदन &c. (see Ak. I. 1. 44-47). The Heaven of Indra is Svarga; its capital, Amaravati; his garden, Nandana; his elephant, Airavata; his horse, Uchchaiśravas; his bow, the rain-bow, and his sword, Paranja. ]. -Comp.: the fire produced from the contact of clouds: 'धूमः frost snow; ° देवता the 16th lunar mansion. -, - an epithet of Visnu and of Narayana (उपेन्द्र ); तस्थौ भ्रातृसमीपस्थः शक्रस्येन्द्रानुजो यथा Rām. 6.91.4. -अरिः an Asura or demon. -अवसानः a desert.: 1 hemp (dried and chewed). -2 the shrub which bears the seed used in jeweller's weight, (गुंजावृक्ष ). - आयुधम् Indra's weapon, the rainbow; इन्द्राR. 7. 4, 12.79: K. 127.

When Ravana warred against Indra in his own heaven, his son Meghanada was with him, and fought most valiantly. During the combat, Meghanada, by virtue of the magical power of becoming invisible which he had obtained from Siva, bound Indra, and bore him off in triumph to Lanka. Brahma and the other gods hurried thither to obtain his release, and gave to Meghanada the title of Indrajit, 'conqueror of Indra': but the victor refused to release his prisoner unless he were promised immortality.
