39. Then, the three worlds became once again without an Indra. Thereupon, the gods (devas) and sages (ṛṣis) approached the revered (Bhagavanta) Viṣṇu for refuge, on behalf of Indra. And they said to Him, "O Lord, you ought to protect Indra, who is afflicted by the sin of brahmin-slaughter (brahmavadhya)." Then, that giver of boons (Viṣṇu) told them, "Let Śakra (Indra) perform a Vaiṣṇava aśvamedha (Vedic ritual)." He added, "Then he will regain his own position."
