v2.c26.448

*Indrāṇī-pūjā*: (worship of Indrāṇī, the consort of god Indra). Vide Saṁ. K. p. 756, S. R. M. p. 545. This seems to have been comparatively an ancient practice as Kālidāsa in Raghuvaṁśa VII. 3 seems to refer to it ('there was absence of disturbers of svayaṁvara on account of the presence of Śacī'). Probably Śacī was worshipped before the *svayaṁvara* began.
