English: TRIBUTES TO A FEW OF THE LESS COMMONLY PICTURED
INDRA, king of the gods. FROM THE RIG VEDA: "He who made fast the tottering earth, who made still the quaking mountains, who measured out and extended the expanse of the air, who propped up the sky -- he, my people, is Indra.... He by whom all these changes were rung, who drove the race of Dasas down into obscurity, who took away the flourishing wealth of the enemy as a winning gambler takes the stake -- he, my people is Indra.... He who encourages the weary and the sick, and the poor priest who is in need, who helps the man who harnesses the stones to press Soma, he who has lips fine for drinking -- he, my people, is Indra."
