" Thou, 0 Indra, smiting the woods asunder, didst make the
streams to gush out; did not then mortals huddle together in
terror ?" Is this the god of the blue sky ? Zeus is the skygod and the sky; Indra is not the sky-he wins it for his
worshippers. ii. 12. 13: " Before him Heaven and Earth bow,
at his breath the mountains quake ;" vi. 31. 2 :' "Through
dread of thee, Indra, everything upon the earth trembles, yea
even the immovable regions of the air; Heaven and Earth, the
mountains, the forests-everything that is firm trembles at thy
progress ;" vi. 18. 2 :4 "Raising the dust on high, he alone was
the mighty shaker of the nations of men.

He is the god of battle, of the battle fought in the thunderstorm between good and bad spirits; and the battle-ground is
the air, the home and gathering place of all demons.

"Indra. Name of the well-known god, who in the
Vedic creed stands at the head of the gods of the middle
region, the atmosphere. The most prominent manifestation
of his power is the battle which he has to fight with the thunder-bolt (vajra), in the thunder-storm, against the demoniac
powers. In his origin he is not the supreme, but the national
and favorite god of the Indo-Aryan tribes, a type of heroic
power used for noble ends; and with the gradual fading away
of Varuna he advances more and more into prominence." My
own investigations, so far as they reach, have all tended to
confirm these views of my revered master.
