Chapter I

HYMN 13 Indra

1

As cows low to their calves in stalls, so with our songs we glorify
This Indra, even your wondrous God who checks attack, who takes delight in precious juice.

2

Celestial, bounteous giver, girt about with might, rich, mountain-like, in pleasant things,--
Him swift we seek for foodful booty rich in kine, brought hundredfold and thousandfold.
