Text 32] King Prthu’s One Hundred Horse Sacrifices 753

Jighanisatha—you wish to kill; yajfiena—by performing sacrifice; yas ya—of
Indra; istah—being worshiped; tanavah—parts of the body; surah—the
demigods.

TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma addressed them thus: My dear sacrificial performers, you
cannot kill Indra, the King of heaven. It is not your duty. You should know
that Indra is as good as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Indeed, he is
one of the most powerful assistants of the Personality of Godhead. You
are trying to satisfy all the demigods by the performance of this yajiia, but
you should know that all these demigods are but parts and parcels of Indra,
the King of heaven. How, then, can you kill him in this great sacrifice?
