Griffith, [1895]\n1In every need, in every fray we call, as friends, to succour us\n \u00a0\u00a0Indra the mightiest of all.\n 2If he will hear us let him come with succour of a thousand\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0kinds,\n \u00a0\u00a0And all that strengthens, to our call.\n 3I call him, mighty to resist, the Hero of our ancient home,\n \u00a0\u00a0Thee whom my sire invoked of old.\n 4They who stand round him as he moves harness the bright, the\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ruddy steed:\n \u00a0\u00a0The lights are shining in the sky.\n 5On both sides of the car they yoke the two bay coursers dear to\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0him,\n \u00a0\u00a0Bold, tawny, bearers of the thief.\n 6Thou, making light where no light was, and form, O Men!\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0where form was not,\n \u00a0\u00a0Wast born together with the Dawns.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 20: Hymn 26","type":"page"}
