[Europeans have found a strange difficulty in understanding the real relation of Sakka to Indra. <strong>The</strong> few<br />

references to Indra in the Nik!yas should be classed with the other fragments of Vedic mythology to be<br />

found in them. Sakka belongs only to the Buddhist mythology then being built up. He is not only quite<br />

different from Indra, but is the direct contrary of that blustering, drunken, god of war. See the passages<br />

collected in Dial. ii.294 298. <strong>The</strong> idiom sa -- Ind! dev!, D ii.261, 274; A v.325, means 2 the gods about<br />

Indra, Indra's retinue 3, this being a Vedic story. But Dev! T!vati's! sahindak! means the T. gods together<br />

with their leader (D ii.208 -- 212; S iii.90; cp. Vv 301) this being a Buddhist story]. -- aggi (ind' aggi)<br />
