When his education was complete, the Guru asked him to bring as dakṣiṇā (fees) the ear-rings worn by the Kṣatriya wife of King Pauṣya. Indra made Takṣaka steal the ornament and created many obstacles on the way. (For details see under Uttaṅka). That incident made them mutual friends and gradually Takṣaka became an intimate friend of Indra. - [Previous: c9.3086](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3086) - [Next: c9.3088](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3088) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3087](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3087) · Pramāṇa
