11) Indra and Yayāti. Yayāti was the son of Nahuṣa. In his old age, he handed over the kingly duties to his younger son Pūru and went to the forest for performing penance. After performing penance, he reached Indraloka in the end. Indra did not like Yayāti’s boast that there was none who had greater power of tapas than himself. Indra pushed him down to the world. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 88).
