Chapter I

HYMN 2 Indra

1

For you from every side we call Indra away from other men
Ours, and none others, may he be!

2

Unclose, our manly hero! thou for ever bounteous, yonder cloud
For us, thou irresistible

3

As the strong bull leads on the herds, he stirs the people with his might,
The ruler irresistible.
