  1. Ṛgveda 5.32.2, English The fountain-depths obstructed in their seasons, thou, Thunderer! madest flow, the mountain's udder. Strong Indra, thou by slaying e'en the Dragon that lay extended there hast shown thy vigour. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  2. Ṛgveda 5.32.3, English Indra with violence smote down the weapon, yea, even of that wild and mighty creature. Although he deemed himself alone unequalled, another had been born e'en yet more potent. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 5.32.4, English Him, whom the heavenly food of these delighted, child of the mist, strong waxing, couched in darkness, Him the bolt-hurling Thunderer with his lightning smote down and slew, the Danava's wrath-fire, Susna. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 5.32.5, English Though he might ne'er be wounded still his vitals felt that, the God's bolt, which his powers supported, When, after offered draughts, Strong Lord, thou laidest him, fain to battle, in the pit in darkness. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  5. Ṛgveda 5.32.6, English Him as he lay there huge in length extended, still waxing in the gloom which no sun lightened, Him, after loud-voiced threats, the Hero Indra, rejoicing in the poured libation, slaughtered. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  6. Ṛgveda 5.32.7, English When 'gainst the mighty Danava his weapon Indra uplifted, power which none could combat, When at the hurling of his bolt he smote him, he made him lower than all living creatures. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  7. Ṛgveda 5.32.8, English The fierce God seized that huge and restless coiler, insatiate, drinker of the sweets, recumbent, And with his mighty weapon in his dwelling smote down the footless evil-speaking ogre. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  8. Ṛgveda 5.32.9, English Who may arrest his strength or cheek his vigour? Alone, resistless, he bears off all riches. Even these Twain, these Goddesses, through terror of Indra's might, retire from his dominion. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  9. Ṛgveda 5.32.10, English E'en the Celestial Axe bows down before him, and the Earth, lover-like, gives way to Indra. As he imparts all vigour to these people, straightway the folk bend them to him the Godlike. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  10. Ṛgveda 5.32.11, English I hear that thou wast born sole Lord of heroes of the Five Races, famed among the people. As such my wishes have most lately grasped him, invoking Indra both at eve and morning. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  11. Ṛgveda 5.32.12, English So, too, I hear of thee as in due season urging to action and enriching singers. What have thy friends received from thee, the Brahmans who, faithful, rest their hopes on thee, O Indra? Ralph T.H. Griffith
