  3. Ṛgveda 8.100.3, English Striving for strength bring forth a laud to Indra, a truthful hymn if he in truth existeth. One and another say, There is no Indra. Who hath beheld him? Whom then shall we honour? Ralph T.H. Griffith

  5. Ṛgveda 8.100.5, English When the Law's lovers mounted and approached me as 1 sate lone upon the dear sky's summit. Then spake my spirit to the heart within me, My friends have cried unto me with their children. Ralph T.H. Griffith
