Griffith, [1896]\n1. GREAT is this might of yours, Indra and Soma: the first high exploits were your own achievements.\n Ye found the Sun ye found the light of heaven: ye killed all darkness and the Gods\u2019 blasphemers.\n 2 Ye, Indra-Soma, gave her light to Morning, and led the Sun on high with all his splendour.\n Ye stayed the heaven with a supporting pillar, and spread abroad apart, the Earth, the Mother.\n 3 Ye slew the flood -obstructing serpent V\u1e5btra, Indra and Soma: Heaven approved your exploit.\n Ye urged to speed the currents of the rivers, and many seas have ye filled full with waters.\n 4 Ye in the unripe udders of the milch-kine have set the ripe milk, Indra, thou, and Soma.\n Ye have held fast the unimpeded whiteness within these many-coloured moving creatures.\n 5 Verily ye bestow, Indra and Soma, wealth, famed, victorious, passing to our children.\n Ye have invested men, ye Mighty Beings, with manly strength that conquers in the battle.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 6: HYMN LXXII.
