The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 11… (1896)
“ ALL sacred songs have magnified Indra expansive as the sea, The best of warriors borne on cars, the Lord, the very Lord of strength. 2. Strong in thy friendship, Indra, Lord of power and might, we have no fear. We glorify with praises thee, the never-conquered conqueror. 3. The gifts of Indra from of old, his saving succours, never fail, When to the praise-singers he gives the boon of substance rich in kine. 4. Crusher of forts, the young, the wise, of strength unmeasured, was he born Sustainer of each sacred rite, Indra, the Thunderer, much-extolled. ”
