HYMN 12 Indra

1

That we may win us wealth and power we poets verily, call on thee:
In war men call on thee, Indra, the hero's Lord, in the steed's race-course call on thee

2

As such, O wonderful, whose hand holds thunder, praised as mighty, Caster of the Stone!
Pour on us boldly, Indra, kine and chariot-steeds, ever to be the conqueror's strength!
