Chapter I

HYMN 15 Indra

1

Rich be the praiser of one rich and liberal, Lord of days! like thee:
High rank be his who lauds the juice!

2

His wealth who hath no store of kine hath ne'er found out recited laud,
Nor song of praises that is sung.

3

Give us not, Indra, as a prey unto the scornful or the proud:
Help, mighty one, with power and might!
