Once ś and Kutsa invited Indra at the same time. But Indra refused ś and put him in prison. Even from the prison ś prayed to Indra to visit him. (Ṛgveda, Maṇḍala 10, Anuvāka 88, Sūkta 5; Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa 1. 128).

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
