Indra has told me to inform you that he is the lord of heaven, and, O Demon! I am his messenger I have told you what he directed me to do Besides this, Indra has also told me to inform you that he is the king of the three realms and as you have tormented the world, he will now punish you" Hearing those words the demon, whose prosperity was about to vanish, said with great fury—'Messenger! tell Indra that I have seen his valour hundreds of time in warfare Is he not ashamed of himself? He is veritably a shameless creature!'—25-28 > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 159.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.159.27) - [Next: 159.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.159.29) - [Up: 159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.159) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.159.p11-2) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.159.28) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Matsya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.matsya.160.28) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.159.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.159.28) · Pramāṇa
