Sachi/ Indrani is the wife of Lord Indra. Indiri is a Matrika god who is a form of goddess Parvati/Shakti. Parvati in the form of Indiri gives Shakti/Power to Lord Indra just like her other forms Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Maheswari, Kaumari, Chamunda, Varahi, and Narasimhi does.

@ Audreyw5678: Hello, sorry for disturbing you, but I want to discuss some things. In the Vedic texts, "Indrani" is the name used for this goddess.

Shachi → Indrani – WP:common name. Admins please move this as per the following suggestions:
Indrani is the most common name in early and later Hindu texts, and in WP:RS. Both on its own and as one of the Saptamatrikas. The word Indrani appears, for example, in 10.86.11 and 10.86.12 in the Rigveda (इन्द्राणीमासु नारिषु सुभगामहमश्रवम्...) within the context of being Indra's wife. Indrani is also in pretty much every Purana. The texts on Saptamatrikas mention Indrani though her position in the sequence, or in some cases the number of mothers – 7 or 8 or 9 – is different. Shachi is a synonym, but uncommon (for example, is mentioned in the Book 3 of the Mahabharata, where mini version of the Ramayana is included). Given the usage, Indrani should be the title of this article. [............]Study the scholarly sources please. I have given one already, Lochtefeld above. His article on Indrani is long, and on p. 617 he has one article under "Shachi" too where he redirects it to Indrani, by merely stating "Shachi In Hindu mythology, the wife of the god Indra, also known as Indrani. See Indrani.". Kinsley on p. 17, says "Indrani is mentioned [in Vedic literature] far more often than any other goddess of this type, but even so it is clear that she is greatly overshadowed by her husband, Indra. [...]. She is also called by the name Śaći (Shachi), which denotes power and suggests the later idea of sakti, the feminine, personified might of the gods of later Hindu mythology." Note that Kinsley is not using Saci as primary term, with "also known as Indrani". Dalal too, on p. 164, writes "Indra is married to Indrani, who is known as Shachi and Pulomaja". Dalal on p. 165–166 has an article on Indrani, who he writes is also known as "Shachi, Pulomaja, Shakrani, Mahendrani and Paulomi". So on. The WP:RS are clearly and repeatedly using the word Indrani, or Indrani as the article title. We should too. Redtigerxyz mentions 1000 eyes, but that is what Canto 288, section 1 of Mahabharata Book 3 (see William Johnson's translation, p. 121) says for Indra through an allusion to Shachi (the thousand-eyed husband of Shachi).

I agree with Ms Sarah Welch, the article title should be Indrani, the popular name for the wife of Indra.
— User:Redtigerxyz (originally answered on Talk:Shachi#Shachi, a Matrika?)
I agree that the article should be renamed 'Indrani' since it is far more common (and also mention that she is also known as 'Shachi', which is primarily used in the epics)[.....]
