Chapter I

HYMN 8 Indra

1

Indra the singers with high praise, Indra reciters with their lauds,
Indra the choirs have glorified.

2

Indra is close to his two bays, with chariot ready at his word,
Indra the golden, thunder-armed.

3

Help us in battles Indra, in battles where thousand spoils are gained,
With awful aids, O awful one!

4

Indra raised up the son aloft in heaven, that he may see afar:
He burst the mountain for the kine.
