Indra and Shachi: The Lord of Heaven and His Devoted Wife
Tvashta's son, the three-headed Trishiras, is an enemy of Indra (the god who continually helps Indian Epics characters by bestowing weapons and chariots upon them)- Indra defeats Trishiras
- An
asura Vritra is created by Tvashta to wage war against Indra in order to have justice for the defeat of Trishiras - We remember how the
asuras and the gods get along (especially Indra) - Indra pretends to make peace, but then acts out and kills the mighty
asura - He runs away, ashamed, and this causes chaos on earth
- A mortal takes Indra's place in the heavenly realm, but the gods are not satisfied with him
- The gods find Indra and approach him to kick Nahusha (the mortal) out of heaven
- Indra's queen, Shachi, and the night goddess, Upashruti, come up with a plan to get rid of Nahusha
- A sage turns Nahusha into a snake and then he is expelled from heaven
- Indra takes the throne once again

Hey Hannah! I'm just going around making extra comments and I think the great thing about doing this is that I actually get to see how different people take notes differently. I really like the bullet point style you have going on here compared to my paragraph style. I feel like you're able to sort of focus your notes really well and I think next time I write a reading diary, it will be more like this!
