"Hymns of the Atharva Veda", by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895],

Hymn Li

1For you will I sing Indra's praise who gives good gifts as well we

know;

Praise of the Bounteous Lord who, rich in treasure, aids his

singers with wealth thousandfold.

2As 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.

3Sakra I praise, for victory, far-famed, exceeding bountiful.

Who gives, as 'twere in thousands, precious wealth to him who

sheds the juice and worships him.

4Arrows with hundred points, unconquerable, are this Indra's

mighty arms in war.

He streams on liberal worshippers like a hill with springs, when

juices poured have gladdened him.
