BOOK VII

Chapter I

HYMN 1 Indra

1

Praise, even as he is known, with song Indra the guardian of the kine,
The Son of Truth, Lord of the brave,

2

Hither have his bay steeds been sent, red steeds are on the sacred grass
Where we in concert sing our songs.

3

For Indra, thunder-armed, the kine have yielded mingled milk and meath,
What time he found them in the vault.
