1.3.14

tasmād idandro nāma.
idandro ha vai nāma.
tam idandraṃ santam indra ity ācakṣate parokṣeṇa.
parokṣapriyā iva hi devāḥ parokṣapriyā iva hi devāḥ.

Therefore His name is Idandra. He is verily known as Idandra. Although He is Idandra, they call Him indirectly Indra; for the gods are verily fond of indirect names, the gods are verily fond of indirect names.
