PURPORT

It is said that Indra, the King of heaven, is very lusty. Once he tactfully had sex-
ual intercourse with the wife of a great sage, and when the sage learned about
this, he cursed the lusty Indra with a curse that put vaginas all over his body. Being
very ashamed, Indra fell down at the lotus feet of the great sage and begged his
pardon. Being compassionate, the sage turned the vaginas into eyes; therefore In-
dra possesses hundreds and thousands of eyes all over his body. Just as Lord
Brahma and Lord Siva have many faces, the King of heaven, Indra, has many eyes.
