They asked Gaurvīti: 'Did you indeed see Indra being born?' He said this: / 'When they say that he came from a horse, / I rather think he was born from vigor; / he came from wrath, he took his stand in the dwellings; / from where he was born, Indra knows of it.' / 'I, for my part, think he was born from vigor,' thus he said; 'Indra alone indeed knows that from which he was born.' Having stuck out his head, he looked about. He saw all this of theirs already won. He said: 'Since all this of theirs has been won, toward what world shall I be born? Come now, give me, give me now these'
