He becomes even conscious, as it were, of pain, and sheds tears. Therefore I see no good in this.' 'So it is indeed, Maghavat,' replied Pragâpati; 'but I shall explain him (the true Self) further to you. Live with me another thirty-two years.' He lived with him another thirty-two years. Then Pragâpati said:

In plain words: Indra says that in dreams the self still feels beaten and chased, feels pain and cries, so he sees no good in this answer. Prajapati agrees and asks him to stay another thirty-two years for further teaching, and Indra stays.
