HYMN 11 Indra

1

That lofty power and might of thine, thy strength and thine intelligence,
And thy surpassing thunderbolt, the wish makes keen.

2

O Indra, heaven and earth augment thy manly force and thy renown:
The waters and the mountains stir and urge thee on:

3

Vishnu in the lofty ruling power, Varuna, Mitra sing thy praise:
In thee the Maruts' company have great delight.
