Indra, potent ruler of nature and humanity, lord

of thunder and clouds, mover of mountains, I am all

faith, reverence and admiration in truth of commitment

for your first and foremost power and passion by which

you break the clouds and release the showers of rain

for humanity, by virtue of which both heaven and earth

abide by your law, the power and force by which the

firmament shakes with awe. (Rg. 10-147-1)
