It had struck!
The foot-touching ritual was complete!
"Teacher!"
Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!
Vamana clasped his hands together and joyfully lifted his head, his voice echoing in waves.
Boom!
Thunderous boom!
Indra's pupils contracted as lightning flickered and coiled around him, suddenly emitting thunderous roars that echoed in all directions.
He retracted his leg, turned his head, and looked at Vamana with complex emotions.
How had Lord Vishnu just split off such an avatar!
It was downright shameful!
He even forced a bow!
However, Vamana had done so much that if he did not return, he would feel it was too much.
Indra shook his head, thinking this.
Forget it!
Let him suffer a little loss then!
After all, he's kind-hearted!
Indra's gaze shifted, turning toward Vamana, then he proceeded with the mentor-disciple ritual, asking questions.
"Whose disciple are you?"
Indra said.
Vamana clasped his hands together, his face showing joy and devotion.
"I am your disciple!"
