Truly a hub for circular reasoning

  • Yes! And. Please bear with me:

    SONG OF INDRA

    Thus indeed, thus is my mind : kine and horses will I win. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

    Like the roaring winds the draughts of Soma have roused me up. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

    The draughts have roused me up, as swift horses a chariot. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

    The hymn has drawn nigh to me, as a lowing cow to her dear calf. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

    As a carpenter a seat for the chariot, round my heart I bend the hymn. Have I not drunk of the Soma ?

    Haha, had to. This is such an absurdly beautiful translation of a Vedic hymn by Thomas. Source: page 50: https://archive.org/cors/vedichymns00unse/vedichymns00unse.p...
