c5.s2.16

The gigantic size of Indra is dwelt upon in many passages. When Indra grasped the two boundless worlds, they were but a handful to him (3, 30⁵). He surpasses in greatness heaven, earth, and air (3, 46³). The two worlds are but equal to the half of him (6, 30¹; 10, 119⁷). Heaven and earth do not suffice for his girdle (1, 173⁶). If the earth were ten times as large, Indra would be equal to it (1, 52¹¹). If Indra had a hundred heavens and a hundred earths, a thousand suns would not equal him nor both worlds (8, 59⁵).
