fr. “in” = “inv” with suff. “ra” preceded by inserted “d”, meaning “to

subdue, conquer”; according to Muir, S. “sindra” fr. “syand”, “to drop”;

more probably from “ind”, “to drop” q.v., and connected with “indu”

m. the Indian Jupiter Pluvius or lord of rain (who in Vedic mythology

reigns over the deities of the intermediate region or atmosphere; he

fights against and conquers with his thunder-bolt [“vajra”] the demons of

darkness, and is in general a symbol of generous heroism; “indra” was

not originally lord of the gods of the sky, but his deeds were most useful

to mankind, and he was therefore addressed in prayers and hymns more

than any other deity, and ultimately superseded the more lofty and

spiritual Varuṇa; in the later mythology “indra” is subordinated to the

triad Brahman, Viṣṇu, and śiva, but remained the chief of all other deities

in the popular mind) &c. &c.

indra Uṇ. 2, 29. mit kṛtādi zusammenges. gaṇa śreṇyādi zu P. 2, 1, 59. 1)

m. a) N. des bekannten Gottes, welcher im vedischen Glauben an der

Spitze der Götterschaaren des mittleren Reiches, des Luftkreises, steht.

Seine vorzüglichste Kraftäusserung ist der Kampf, welchen er mit dem

Donnerkeil (vajra) im Gewitter gegen die dämonischen Gewalten kämpft.

Viele andere Grossthaten von ihm werden aufgezählt und gepriesen. Er

ist im Ursprung nicht der oberste, aber der nationale Gott und Liebling der

arisch-indischen Stämme, ein Vorbild der zu edlen Zwecken thätigen

Heldenkraft und tritt mit der allmähligen Verdunkelung Varuṇa’s immer

mehr an die Spitze. In dem gemischten Göttersystem der jüngeren

indischen Zeit, in welches die drei grossen Götter aufgenommen sind, ist

er zwar jener Dreiheit untergeordnet, aber doch das Haupt des

eigentlichen Götterhimmels geblieben. NIR. 10, 8. fgg. AK. 1, 1, 1, 36.
