The story of God Indra’s birth is an interesting one. In fact, Indra was in her mother’s womb (Goddess Earth) for several thousands of months. Moreover, his mother tried to hide him as she considered it a disgrace if she let him out. Finally, the embryo was swallowed by Kusava, a river. The Kusava waters were very favorable to the child, and he grew strong, mighty, and graceful. When he was fully grown up, Indra created a way to come forth from the womb. He defied the conventional norms. Indra was well aware of his mission to get rid of demon Vritra. Indra went on to drink Soma (heavenly beverage) and assumed a huge form. He struck Vritra with his thunderbolt and released all the waters from the captivity. So, Indra accomplished a massive task that was beyond the capacity of all Gods.
