Hymn Cviii

1o Indra, bring great strength to us, bring valour, Satakratu, thou

most active, bring.

A hero conquering in war.

2For, gracious Satakratu, thou hast ever been a mother and a

sire to us,

So now for bliss we pray to thee.

3To thee, Strong, Much-invoked who showest forth thy strength,

O Satakratu, do I speak:

So grant thou us heroic might.
