BOOK IX

Chapter I

HYMN 3 Indra

1

Even as a car to give us aid, we draw thee nigh to favour us,
Strong in thy deeds, quelling attack, Indra, Lord, mightiest! of the brave.

2

Great in thou power and wisdom, strong, with thought that comprehendeth all!
Wide hast thou spread in majesty.

3

Thou very mighty one, whose hands by virtue of thy greatness wield
The golden bolt that beaks its way!
