4.20.13

sa yāvad dha vā indra etam ātmānaṃ na vijajñe tāvad enam asurā abhibabhūvuḥ /

Verily, as long as Indra understood not this self, so long the Asuras (demons) overcame him. When he understood, then, striking down and conquering the Asuras, he compassed (pari + √i) the supremacy (śraiṣṭhya), independent sovereignty (svārājya), and overlordship (ādhipatya) of all gods and of all beings.
