The Rig Veda — Mandala 3, Hymn 32 (1896)
“ Days may not check the power of thee the Mighty, nor the nights, Indra, nor the months, nor autumns. 10. As soon as thou wast born in highest heaven thou drankest Soma to delight thee, Indra; And when thou hadst pervaded earth and heaven thou wast the first supporter of the singer. 11. Thou, puissant God, more mighty, slewest. Ahi showing his strength when couched around the waters. The heaven itself attained not to thy greatness when with one hip of thine the earth was shadowed. 12. Sacrifice, Indra, made thee wax so mighty, the dear oblation with the flowing Soma. ”
