Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 17


Sanskrit:

गम्यतां शक्र भद्रं व: क्रियतां मेऽनुशासनम् । स्थीयतां स्वाधिकारेषु युक्तैर्व: स्तम्भवर्जितै: ॥ १७ ॥

ITRANS:

gamyatāṁ śakra bhadraṁ vaḥkriyatāṁ me ’nuśāsanamsthīyatāṁ svādhikāreṣuyuktair vaḥ stambha-varjitaiḥ

Translation:

Indra, you may now go. Execute My order and remain in your appointed position as King of heaven. But be sober, without false pride.

Purport:

Lord Kṛṣṇa here addresses Indra in the plural form (vaḥ) because this grave instruction was meant to be a lesson for all the demigods.
