OF thee, the Bull, the Warrior, Sovran Ruler, joyous and fierce, ancient and ever youthful,\n The undecaying One who wields the thunder, renowned and great, great are the exploits, Indra.\n 2 Great art thou, Mighty Lord, through manly vigour, O fierce One, gathering spoil, subduing others,\n Thyself alone the universe's Sovran: so send forth men to combat and to rest them.\n 3 He hath surpassed all measure in his brightness, yea, and the Gods, for none may be his equal.\n Impetuous Indra in his might cxccedcth wide vast mid-air and heaven and earth together.\n 4 To Indra, even as rivers to the ocean, flow forth from days of old the Soma juices;\n To him wide deep and mighty from his birth-time, the well of holy thoughts, aIl-comprehending.\n 5 The Soma, Indra, which the earth and heaven bear for thee as a mother bears her infant,\n This they send forth to thee, this, vigorous Hero!
