HYMN 21 Indra

1

Hitherward! they who light the flame and straightway trim the sacred grass,
Whose friend is Indra ever young.

2

Large is their fuel, much their laud, wide is their splinter from the stake,
Whose friend is Indra ever young.

3

Unquelled in fight the hero leads his army with the warrior chiefs,
Whose friend is Indra ever young.
