"As with a hundred hosts, he rushes boldly on, and for the offerer slays his foes. As from a mountain flow the water-brooks, thus flow his gifts who feedeth many a one."

"The drops effused, the gladdening draughts, O Indra, Lover of the Son As waters seek the lake where they are wont to rest, fill thee, for bounty, Thunderer."

"The matchless draught that strengthens and gives eloquence, the sweetest of the meath drink thou, That in thy joy thou mayst scatter thy gifts o'er us, plenteously, even as the dust."

"With homage have we sought thee as a Hero, strong, preeminent, with unfailing wealth. O Thunderer, as a plenteous spring pours forth its stream, so, Indra, flow our songs to thee."

"If now thou art at sacrifice, or if thou art upon the earth, Come thence, high-thoughted! to our sacrifice with the Swift, come, Mighty with the Mighty Ones."

"Indra, from thee so great we crave prosperity in wealth of kine, As, Maghavan, thou favouredst Medhyâtithi, and, in the fight, Nîpâtithi."
