RIGVEDA –BOOK 3-HYMN XLIV. Indra.
1. May this delightsome Soma be expressed for thee by tawny stones. Joying thereat, O Indra, with thy Bay Steeds come:. ascend thy golden-coloured car. 2 In love thou madest Uṣas glow, in love thou madest Sūrya shine. Thou, Indra, knowing, thinking, Lord of Tawny Steeds, above all glories waxest great. 3 The heaven with streams of golden hue, earth with her tints of green and gold- The golden Pair yield Indra plenteous nourishment: between them moves the golden One. 4 When born to life the golden Bull illumines all the realm of light. He takes his golden weapon, Lord of Tawny Steeds, the golden thunder in his arms. 5 The bright, the well-loved thunderbolt, girt with the bright, Indra disclosed, Disclosed the Soma juice pressed out by tawny stones, with tawny steeds drave forth the kine.
