Thou art Indra’s house. To thee I resort; into thee I enter—possessing all cattle, possessing all men, whole in self, whole in body—together with whatsoever is mine.
तू इंद्र का घर है। मैं तुझ पास आता हूँ, मैं तुझमें घुस जाता हूँ। सब पास है, सब लोग पास हैं, पूरा खुद है, पूरा बदन है। जो भी मेरा है वो साथ ले के आया हूँ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (domestic-protective formulae in AV 5)
