1. WITH what help will he come to us,
wonderful, ever-waxing Friend;
With what most mighty company?
2 What genuine and most liberal draught
will spirit thee with juice to burst
Open e'en strongly-guarded wealth?
3 Do thou who art Protector of us thy
friends who praise thee
With hundred aids approach us.
4 Like as a courser's circling wheel, so turn
thee hitherward to us,
Attracted by the hymns of men.
5 Thou seekest as it were thine own
stations with swift descent of powers:
I share thee even with the Sun.
6 What time thy courage and his wheels
together, Indra, run their course
With thee and with the Sun alike,
7 So even, Lord of Power and Might, the
people call thee Maghavan,
Giver, who pauses not to think.
8 And verily to him who toils and presses
Soma juice for thee
Thou quickly givest ample wealth.
9 No, not a hundred hinderers can check thy
gracious bounty's flow,
Nor thy great deeds when thou wilt act.
10 May thine assistance keep us safe, thy
hundred and thy thousand aids:
May all thy favours strengthen us.
11 Do thou elect us this place for
friendship and prosperity,
And great celestial opulence.
12 Favour us, Indra, evermore with
overflowing store of wealth:
With all thy succours aid thou us.
13 With new protections, Indra, like an
archer, open thou forus
The stables that are filled with kine.
14 Our chariot, Indra, boldly moves endued
with splendour, ne'er repulsed,
Winning for us both kine andsteeds.
15 O Surya, make our fame to be most
excellent among the Gods,
Most lofty as the heaven on high.
