(Feminine form of
Indra) The wife of Indra, the deity who rules over the heavens.
Indrani is a minor character, maybe representing Indra's
lessened importance in later Hindu mythology.
Her sole significant part is as the object of love in
Nahusha's narrative, in which he succeeds Indra as the king of heaven due to
his righteous actions.
Nahusha makes moves at Indrani, assuming he is entitled to
both her and Indra's throne.
The sage Agastya curses Nahusha to be reincarnated as a huge snake for his arrogance.
