Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 2, sentence 5
The part played by the Water of Strength in this story may be compared with "the important share which the exhilarating juice of the Soma-plant assumes in bracing Indra for his conflict with the hostile powers in the atmosphere," and Vikhor's sudden debility with that of Indra when the Asura Namuchi "drank up Indra's strength along with a draught of wine and soma."
Who acts: exhilarating juice, Asura Namuchi, Indra · What happens: play, compare, exhilarate, assume, brace, drink up · To what, where: part, story, important share, Indra, strength · Speech: someone speaks here
