Thanks for the link, Jayshree. No stone, like you said, in H's birth, but the lightning is interesting. The use of lightning by the King of Gods harkens back to the origins of farming and the farmer's Weather/Storm gods. Wasn't Indra's weapon-thingy capable of shouting such bolts? Is Indra the King of Gods above? Have I skimmed too swiftly? 8^)
