Having dropped the thunderbolt from his hand in the presence
of his enemy, Indra was practically defeated and was very much
ashamed. He dared not pick up his weapon again. Vrtrasura,
however, encouraged him, saying, ““Take up your thunderbolt and
kill your enemy. This is not the time to lament your fate.”
