As such, it is later than the core of the better-known Svacchanda Tantra (SvT), another Kashmirian Tantra, which dates from no later than the seventh century. The NT is nonetheless referenced by Abhinavagupta, and a comprehensive commentary on the work was authored by his disciple Ká¹£emarÄja.
In the Vedas, Indra is the king of Svarga and the Devas . He is the god of lightning, thunder, storms, rains and river flows. Indra is the most referred to deity in the Rigveda. He is celebrated for his powers, and the one who kills the great symbolic evil named Vritra who obstructs human prosperity and happiness. Indra destroys Vritra and his deceiving forces, and thereby brings rains and the sunshine as the friend of mankind.
