Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CLIII. Indra

1. SWAYING about, the Active Ones came nigh to Indra at his birth, And shared his great heroic might. 2 Based upon strength and victory and power, O Indra is thy birth: Thou, Mighty One, art strong indeed. 3 Thou art the Vṛtra-slayer, thou, Indra, hast spread the firmament: Thou hast with might upheld the heavens. 4 Thou, Indra, bearest in thine arms the lightning that accords with thee, Whetting thy thunderbolt with might. 5 Thou, Indra, art preeminent over all creatures in thy might: Thou hast pervaded every place.
