O lord of the thunderbolt of justice and right
action, you know and wield the counter-active measures
against adversities just as the sun, purifier of nature's
impurities, has the capacity to counter them day by day.
(Rg. 8-24-24)

May theAdityas, powers of light and life in nature
and humanity, drive away all disease of body and mind
and keep off negativities of thought and intelligence
from us. May the children of imperishable divinity keep
us safe, far away from the onslaughts of sin and
adversity. (Rg. 8-18-10)

Indra, lord ruler and controller of the dynamic
forces of the world, drink this soma of ecstasy which, I
am sure, would exhilarate you. The cloud, generative
power of nature, has distilled it and showered on you.
And just as a horse well controlled by the hands and
reins of the driver moves to the right destination, so is
this soma generated by the hands of the creator meant
