Annotation: Indra in ancient Indian mythology is the god of thunder and lightning, the head of the gods, embodies primarily a military function, is also associated with fertility. Belief in Indra probably came to Vietnam with Buddhism. Indra was revered as the protector of the Buddha. The convergence of the images of Indra and Jasper Lord Ngok-hoang led to the fact that Indra began to be perceived as the patron of chess.
