Griffith, [1895]\n1From the three jars the Great and Strong hath drunk drink blent\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0with meal. With Vishnu hath he quaffed the flowing Soma\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0juice, all that he would.\n \u00a0\u00a0That hath so heightened him the Great, the Vast, to do his\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0mighty work.\n \u00a0\u00a0So may the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.\n 2Sing strength to Indra that shall set his chariot in the foremost\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0place. p. 343\n \u00a0\u00a0Giver of room in closest fight, slayer of foes in shock of war, be\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0thou our great encourager. Let the weak bowstrings break\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0upon the bows of feeble enemies.\n 3Thou didst destroy the Dragon: thou sentest the rivers down to\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0earth.\n \u00a0\u00a0Foeless, O Indra, wast thou born. Thou tendest well each\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0choicest thing. Therefore we draw us close to thee. Let the\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0weak bowstrings break upon the bows of feeble enemies.\n 4Destroyed be all malignities and all our enemy's designs.\n \u00a0\u00a0Thy bolt thou castest at the foe, O Indra, who would smite us\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0dead: thy liberal bounty gives us wealth. Let the weak bow-\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0strings break upon the bows of feeble enemies.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 20: Hymn 95","type":"page"}
