Which Indra's hand in seven had cleft:[213]
“No fault, O Lord of Gods, is thine;
The blame herein is only mine.
But for one grace I fain would pray,

Has withered ere it saw the light—
From this may seven fair spirits rise
To rule the regions of the skies.
Be theirs through heaven's unbounded space
