BOOK VII

Chapter I

HYMN 5 Indra

1

I from my Father have obtained deep knowledge of eternal Law;
I was born like unto the Sun.

2

After the ancient manner I, like Kanva, beautify my songs,
And Indra's self gains power thereby.

3

Whatever gishis have not praised thee, Indra, or have praised thee, wax
Mighty indeed when praised by me!
