Rig Veda 2.16.2: Mandala 2, Sukta 16, Mantra 2
Sukta 2.16
यस्मादिन्द्राद्बृहतः किं चनेमृते विश्वान्यस्मिन्त्सम्भृताधि वीर्या । जठरे सोमं तन्वी सहो महो हस्ते वज्रं भरति शीर्षणि क्रतुम् ॥
yasmā́d índrād bṛhatáḥ kíṃ caném ṛté víśvāny asmint sambhṛtā́dhi vīryā́ | jaṭháre sómaṃ tanvī́ sahó mahó háste vájraṃ bhárati śī́rṣaṇi krátum ||
من إندرا العظيم لا يستطيع أحدٌ أن ينفصل، ولو قليلاً؛ ففيه جُمِعت كلُّ القوى وأُقيمت. في بطنه سوما؛ وفي جسده البأسُ والعظمة؛ وفي يده يحمل الفَجْرَة (vajra)، وعلى رأسه كْرَتُو (kratu)—إرادةُ المعرفة النافذة.
