Sukta 47
गि॒रा वज्रो॒ न संभृ॑तः॒ सब॑लो॒ अन॑पच्युतः । व॒व॒क्ष ऋ॒ष्वो अस्तृ॑तः
girā́ vájro ná sámbhṛtaḥ sábaló ánápacyutaḥ | vavákṣa ṛṣvó ástṛtaḥ ||
By song, like a thunderbolt compacted, strong, unshifting: he hath waxed—lofty, unconquered.
गानों से इंद्र इतने मज़बूत बन गए जैसे बिजली चमके। वो हिलते नहीं, पक्के खड़े हैं। वो बहुत ऊँचे हैं और कोई उन्हे हरा नहीं सकता।
