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

Hymn Lxxxv

1Glorify naught besides, O friends; so shall no sorrow trouble

you.

Praise only mighty Indra when the juice is shed, and say your

lauds repeatedly:

2Even him, eternal, like a bull who rushes down, men's con-

queror, bounteous like a cow;

Him who is cause of both, of enmity and peace, to both sides

most munificent.

3Although these men in sundry ways invoke thee to obtain thine

aid.

Be this our prayer, addressed, O Indra, unto thee, thine exalta-

tion every day.

4Those skilled in song, O Maghavan, among these men o'ercome

with might the foeman's songs,

Come hither, bring us strength in many a varied form most near

that it may succour us.
