Atharva Veda: Book 20: Hymn 138: In praise of Indra
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1Indra, great in his power and might and, like Parjanya, rich in
rain,
Is magnified by Vatsa's lauds,
2When the priests, strengthening the Son of holy Law, present
their gifts,
Singers with Order's hymn of praise.
3Since Kanvas with their lauds have made Indra complete the
sacrifice,
Words are their own appropriate arms.
