HYMN XXXIX

HYMN XXXIX 1. For you, from every side, we call Indra away from other men:   Ours, and none others,’ let him be. 2. In Soma's ecstasy Indra spread the firmament and realms of    light.   When he cleft Vala limb from limb. 3. Showing the hidden cows he draye them forth for the Angirases,   And Vala he cast headlong down. 4. By Indra were the luminous realms of heaven established and    secured,   Firm and immovable from their place. 05. Indra, thy laud moves quickly like a joyous wave of waters:    bright.   Have shone the drops that gladden thee.
