Goddess of India succeeded more than once (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isis

'goddess' is the definition.
(Egyptian god)

'india succeeded more than once' is the wordplay.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'more than once' says to double the letters.
'i'+'s'='is'
'is' doubled is 'ISIS'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for isis that I've seen before include "Oxford river; goddess" , "Exists twice for a goddess" , "Old Egyptian fertility goddess" , "Egypt. goddess" , "Egyptian goddess and jihadist group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
