The thirteen / Aitareya Upanishad / Adhyāya 1 · Khaṇḍa 3

AITAREYA UPANISHAD · 1.3.14

तस्मादिदन्द्रो नामेदन्द्रो ह वै नाम । तमिदन्द्रं सन्तमिन्द्र इत्याचक्षते परोक्षेण । परोक्षप्रिया इव हि देवाः परोक्षप्रिया इव हि देवाः ॥ १४ ॥

tasmādidandro nāmedandro ha vai nāma । tamidandraṃ santamindra ityācakṣate parokṣeṇa । parokṣapriyā iva hi devāḥ parokṣapriyā iva hi devāḥ ॥ 14 ॥

Therefore is He Idandra; for Idandra is the true name of Him. But though He is Idandra, they call Him Indra because of the veil of the Unrevelation; for the gods love the veil of the Unrevelation, yea, verily, the gods love the Unrevelation.
