Indra's iron thunderbolt is grasped firmly in his hand, enormous strength resides in his arms; when hegoes forth (to battle), there is ample employment for his head and his mouth, and (his followers) rush near him tohear his commands.

'Tis he who made the lauds his own and boldly drank the Soma juice, He to whom Visnu came striding his three wide steps, as Mitra's statutes ordered it.
