  1. 0:00–0:39वो आप वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो वो
  2. 0:39–0:46I am Indra, King of the Gods. I have come to receive from you instruction in the supreme
  3. 0:46–0:50reality. Through this, your fame will reach the heavenly realm.
  4. 0:50–1:01I have promised to teach him, but is Indra worthy of this knowledge? A man who roams with a thunderbolt
  5. 1:01–1:06and is immersed in sensual desire, should such an unworthy person receive instruction in the
  6. 1:06–1:14supreme reality? If knowledge falls into arrogant hands, honey can turn to poison. Yet I have
  7. 1:14–1:21given my word, so, to uphold my vow, I shall teach Indra the modu-video.
  8. 1:21–1:24What has plunged you into such deep thought, Maharshi?
  9. 1:24–1:31Indra, I shall teach you the modu-video. Keep away from indulgence, from every kind
  10. 1:31–1:38of pleasure and rich food. Such things are like a snake hidden among flowers. If indulgence
  11. 1:38–1:44rules him, what difference remains between Indra, Lord of Heaven, and the lowest dog on earth?
  12. 1:44–1:49The Madhuvajah teaches that all beings are honey for one another, whoever lives only for
  13. 1:49–1:51himself turns honey into poison.
  14. 1:51–2:00Maharshi, today I have endured this insult from you. But from this day onward, if
  15. 2:00–2:05If you give the Madavidya to anyone else, this head, whose intellect fills you with such
  16. 2:05–2:09pride, will fall from your neck onto this ground.
  17. 2:09–2:11I shall stand guard over knowledge.
  18. 2:11–2:24Maharshi, we have now become fully worthy to receive your Madavidya.
  19. 2:24–2:27We have abandoned the paths of violence and indulgence.
  20. 2:27–2:31At the Soma Sacrifice, Indra judged us entirely unworthy to drink Soma.
  21. 2:31–2:34Yet we did not seek revenge.
  22. 2:34–2:38We gave legs to many who were lame and sight to many who were blind.
  23. 2:38–2:41We drove away the old age of sage Chayavana.
  24. 2:41–2:46In gratitude for that service, Chayavana made us eligible to partake of the soul.
  25. 2:46–2:51Service made us worthy, rank did not.
  26. 2:51–2:56Ashvins, to impart knowledge of Brahmin, is an act of benevolence, and you are entirely
  27. 2:56–2:59worthy students of this knowledge.
  28. 2:59–3:03Indra has declared that on the very day I ever give this knowledge to anyone, he
  29. 3:03–3:10will sever my head from my body. But this body is transient. If not today, it must perish
  30. 3:10–3:17tomorrow. Fear of that cannot make me allow Brahma Vidya to disappear. No one commits a
  31. 3:17–3:24greater crime than one who obstructs knowledge. Maharshi, what greatness of spirit, but we
  32. 3:24–3:30do no surgery. First, we shall attach a horse's head to your neck. When Indra carries
  33. 3:30–3:35out his vile act and cuts off your head. We shall restore your true head to your body.
  34. 3:35–3:44You preserve the knowledge. We shall find a way to preserve your life.
  35. 3:44–3:49Every substance in this world serves every other. This earth is honey for all beings,
  36. 3:49–3:55and all beings are honey for the earth. All life is of the nature of honey, radiant
  37. 3:55–4:02and immortal. Upon the foundation of truth, the sun spreads light through the world.
  38. 4:02–4:07The moon's white radiance drives away the heaviness of night and brings coolness.
  39. 4:07–4:13When knowledge dawns, the snake imagined in darkness is seen to be a rope.
  40. 4:13–4:19Grasp with your understanding the unifying thread of the universe, the supreme self.
  41. 4:19–4:23Just as the spokes of a chariot will rest in its hub, the entire universe rests in the
  42. 4:23–4:26supreme self.
  43. 4:26–4:30Whoever sees this will regard no one as inferior and will make no one merely a means to
  44. 4:30–4:37an end.
  45. 4:37–4:41Forgive my offense, Maharshi.
  46. 4:41–4:45Today the Ashwin brothers have shown me a new path.
  47. 4:45–4:49One who learns even a single letter from a teacher honors that teacher, but what have
  48. 4:49–4:51I done?
  49. 4:51–4:55The true disciples are the Ashwin brothers.
  50. 4:55–5:00In the name of protecting knowledge, I had set out to destroy knowledge itself.
  51. 5:00–5:05Indra, that is why I had been reluctant to teach you.
  52. 5:05–5:10But because of your determination and your devotion to truth, I taught you.
  53. 5:10–5:13I hold no bitterness toward you.
  54. 5:13–5:18The offense has been seen, and repentance has been seen as well.
  55. 5:18–5:23Now make knowledge an act of service, not a source of authority.
  56. 5:23–5:27Blessed are you, and blessed are the Ashvins.
  57. 5:27–5:29I am no longer the Indra I was.
  58. 5:29–5:44The Ashvins have ended my arrogance.
  59. 5:44–5:48The attack by Vritra and Shambhara is exceptionally fierce this time.
  60. 5:48–5:53I have come not with arrogance, but to seek your guidance, Maharshi.
  61. 5:53–5:59Indra, near Kurakshetra there is a reservoir called Sharyana.
  62. 5:59–6:01Go there.
  63. 6:01–6:05The horse's head through which I instructed the Ashvins has been kept there.
  64. 6:05–6:10Brahmavidya passed through that mouth, and because of it the head has become exceptionally
  65. 6:10–6:12hard and strong.
  66. 6:12–6:18Darmit fashion weapons of many kinds. Use fire-based destructive devices that
  67. 6:18–6:24dressandevraja, bows, arrows, iron-headed shafts with needle-like points and hard
  68. 6:24–6:31vicankati-shaped heads. Use armour and helmets. Also use weapons that spread
  69. 6:31–6:35darkness and weapons that release foul-smelling smoke through burning
  70. 6:35–6:41cords. Fight and be victorious. But remember the dharma of a weapon is
  71. 6:41–6:55defense, not vanity. As you command, Maharshi.
  72. 6:55–7:02Indra was victorious, and the wicked fled into caves. This was the Vedic drama. Dadachi did
  73. 7:02–7:08not give away his body. What he gave was the defense of knowledge, his vow, and truth.
  74. 7:08–7:13Later, the storytellers of the Puranas distorted this meaning and told instead that Indra's
  75. 7:13–7:20thunderbolt was made from Darditch's bones. Children, listen, a story may change, but
  76. 7:20–7:22the search for truth must never cease.
