Then he beheld Indra, eulogized by Gandharvas headed by Viçvāvasu, etc., and was seated on Indra's own seat; and Gandharvas, headed by Tumburu, sang to them, and thousands of Apsarases (enumeration of seventeen) (a) danced there (III, 43).—§ 337: The gods and Gandharvas offered him arghya, etc., and caused him to enter the palace of Indra. There he received Indra's weapons, the thunderbolt (vajra) and lightning (açanih).
