Hymn 4.27

Stanzas: 5

Addressed to: Soma and the Eagle

Rishi: Vamadeva Gautama

Indra continues his first-person narrative, detailing his prenatal wisdom and miraculous escape from confinement like a falcon. The hymn then vividly describes the swift falcon's perilous flight to bring the precious Soma, escaping the archer Kr̥iṣanu, culminating in a call for Indra to accept the offering.
