"Hymns of the Atharva Veda", by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895],

Hymn Liii

1Who knows what vital power he wins, drinking beside the

flowing juice?

This is the fair-cheeked God who, joying in the draught, breaks

down the castles in his strength.

2As a wild elephant rushes on, this way and that way, mad with

heat.

None may restrain thee; yet come hither to the draught: thou

movest mighty in thy power.

3When he, the mighty, ne'er o'erthrown, stedfast, made ready for

the fight.

When Indra, Bounteous Lord, lists to his praiser's call, he will

not stand aloof, but come.
