3.1.166
"Do duties and tasks arise, Venerable Sir, for those Indras and kings of the gods, Śakra and Īśāna?"
"Yes, they do."
"How do they proceed in that case?"
"Gautama! At that very time, Śakra, the Indra and king of the gods, appears in the presence of Īśāna, the Indra and king of the gods; or Īśāna, the Indra and king of the gods, appears in the presence of Śakra, the Indra and king of the gods, saying, 'O Śakra! Indra! King of the gods! Sovereign of the southern half of the universe!' or 'O Īśāna! Indra! King of the gods! Sovereign of the northern half of the universe!' Calling 'O sir! O sir!', they dwell mutually carrying out their duties and tasks."
"Do disputes arise, Venerable Sir, between those Indras and kings of the gods, Śakra and Īśāna?"
"Yes, they do."
"Then how do they proceed in that case?"
"Gautama! At that very time, those Indras and kings of the gods, Śakra and Īśāna, direct their minds to Sanatkumāra, the Indra and king of the gods. Then Sanatkumāra, the Indra and king of the gods, being called to mind by those Indras and kings of the gods, Śakra and Īśāna, quickly appears in the presence of the Indras and kings of the gods, Śakra and Īśāna. Whatever he says, they abide by his order, compliance, word, and direction."
