Sacred Concord

RV 26 (6)

Rig Veda · translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith

2 At every laud the Soma gladdens Indra: pressed juices please him as each psalm is chanted, 3 These deeds he did; let him achieve new exploits, such as the priests declare at their libations. 4 Even thus have they declared him. Famed is Indra as Conqueror, sole distributer of treasures; 5 Thus, to bring help to men, Vasistha laudeth Indra, the peoples' Hero, at libation.
