VERSES 10 & 11.—Pischel and Geldner suppose that the first is addressed by Vṛishākapi to Indrāṇī, and the second by Vṛishakapāyī. Sāyaṇa understands them to be addressed by Indra. Whichsoever construction we adopt, the meaning remains the same. Indrāṇī is here told that she is highly respected everywhere; she is the blessed of all women, and that her husband never suffers from old age. This is obviously intended to pacify her.
