Thou art\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the fist of Indra, show thy firmness.\n 3Conquer those yonder and let these be victors. Let the Drum\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0speak aloud as battle's signal.\n \u00a0\u00a0Let our men, winged with horses, fly together. Let our car-\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0warriors, Indra! be triumphant.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 6: Hymn 126: Glorification of the war drum","type":"page"}
