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...
