Rig Veda 10.144

Indra

GriffithEnglish
THIS deathless Indu, like a steed, strong and of full vitality, Belongs to thee, the Orderer.
Here, by us, for the worshipper, is the wise bolt that works with skill. It brings the bubbling beverage as a dexterous man brings the effectual strong drink.
Impetuous Ahīśuva, a bull among cows of his, looked down upon the restless Hawk.
That the strong-pinioned Bird hath brought, Child of the Falcon, from afar, What moves upon a hundred wheels along the female Dragon's path.
Which, fair, unrobbed, the Falcon brought thee in his foot, the red-hued dwelling of the juice; Through this came vital power which lengthens out our days, and kinship through its help awoke.
So Indra is by lndu's power; e’en among Gods will it repel great treachery. Wisdom, Most Sapient One, brings force that lengthens life. May wisdom bring the juice to us.
