"Hearing that from them, the slayer of Vritra, and having himself surveyed everything, Indra, borne by his tawny steeds, set out for the deliverance of Khandava; with a great net of clouds, manifold in form, the wielder of the thunderbolt, having spread over the sky, poured down rain, the lord of the gods; then, releasing streams thick as an axle, by the hundreds of thousands, the thousand-eyed one poured down rain upon the fire, upon Khandava."

Here Indra hastens to save the forest of his friend. It is telling that the king of the gods himself comes forth and unleashes torrents of rain: attachment to Takshaka moves him to its defense. And the gods act out of affection and the duty of protection. Thus scripture reveals Indra's intervention, and a contest is coming between heaven's water and a fire upheld by heroes.
