Sūta said: Ability (1) to have no shadow of oneself; (2) to see the subtle elements; (3) to walk over the ether; (4) to have the objects of desire at will; (5) to hear sound from a distance, (6) to comprehend all types of sounds; (7) to have a body composed only of subtle elements and (8) to see all living being—these are the powers pertaining to Indra who is so called because he creates bodies by means of these powers.
