BOOK II

Chapter I

HYMN 19 Indra

1

All sacred songs have magnified Indra expansive as the sea.
Best of all warriors borne on cars, the Lord of heroes, Lord of strength.

2

Lord of might, Indra, may we ne'er, strong in thy friendship, be afraid!
We glorify with praises thee, the never conquered conqueror.

3

The gifts of Indra from of old, his saving succours never fail,
When to his worshippers he gives the boon of booty rich in kine.
