“The Rishis did not see Indra clearly, but Vasishtha saw him clearly. Indra said, ‘I shall tell you a Brâhmaṇa, so that all men that are born will have thee for Purohita; but do not tell of me to the other Rishis.’ Thus he told him these parts of the hymns; and ever since, men were born having Vasishtha for their Purohita. Therefore a Vasishtha is to be chosen as Brahman.”
