Chapter II

HYMN 9 Indra

I

Arising in thy might, thy jaws thou shookest Indra, having drunk
The Soma which the press had shed.

2

Indra, both world gave place to thee as thou wast fighting, when thou wast
The slayer of the Dasyu hosts.

3

From Indra, have I measured out a song eight-footed with nine parts,
Delicate, strengthening the Law.
