nūnaṃ batāyaṃ bhagavān artheṣu na niṣṇāto yo 'sāv indro yasya sacivo mantrāya vṛta ekāntato bṛhaspatis tam atihāya svayam upendreṇātmānam ayācatātmanaś cāśiṣo no eva tad-dāsyam ati-gambhīra-vayasaḥ kālasya manvantara-parivṛttaṃ kiyal loka-trayam idam //

24. Certainly, it is a pity, that this god called Indra, endowed with superior intellect and having Brihaspati for specially helping him with good counsel, neglected him (Brihaspati, or taking his counsel) and also Upendra and through Upendra begged of me his blessings (his fortune), but not the service of that Lord (Upendra). Of what value is this (kingdom of three worlds) limited in existence to a period of manvantara out of the unlimited Time passing in incalculable velocity?
