Rig Veda 9.57: THY streams that never fail or waste flow forth like showers of rain…
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
THY streams that never fail or waste flow forth like showers of rain from heaven,
To bring a thousand stores of strength.
He flows beholding on his way all well beloved sacred lore,
Green-tinted, brandishing his, arms.
He, when the people deck him like a docile king of elephants.
Sits as a falcon in the, wood.
So bring thou hitherward to us, Indu, while thou art purified,
All treasures both of heaven and earth.
