Hymn Xx

1Drink thou the Soma for our help, bright, vigilant, exceeding

strong,

O Indra, Lord of Hundred Powers.

2O Satakratu, powers which thou mid the Five Races hast dis-

played

These, Indra, do I claim of thee.

3Indra, great glory hast thou gained. Win splendid fame which

none may mar:

We make thy might perpetual.

4Come to us either from anear, or, Sakra, come from far away. p. 280

Indra, wherever be thy home, come to us thence, O Thunder-

armed.

5Verily Indra, conquering all, driveth even mighty fear away;

For firm is he and swift to act.

6Indra be gracious unto us: sin shall not reach us afterward.

And good shall be before us still,

7From all the regions of the world let Indra send security.

The foe-subduer, swift to act.
