Hymn Xcviii

1That we may win us wealth and spoil we poets verily call on

thee.

In war men call on thee, Indra, the hero's Lord, in the steed's,

race-course call on thee.

2As such, O Wonderful whose hand holds thunder, praised as

mighty, Caster of the Stone.

Pour on us boldly, Indra, kie and chariot-steeds, ever to be the

conqueror's strength.
