" 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.
