1. THY right hand have we grasped in
ours, O Indra, longing for treasure, Treasure-Lord of treasures!
Because we know thee, Hero, Lord of cattle:
vouchsafe us mighty and resplendent riches.
2 Wealth, fully armed, good
guard and kind protector, sprung from four seas, the prop and stay of
treasures,
Fraught with great bounties, meet for praise
and glory; vouchsafe us mighty and resplendent riches.
3 Wealth, with good Brahmans,
Indra! God-attended, high, wide, and deep, arid based on broad foundations,
Strong, with famed Rsis, conquering our foemen:
vouchsafe us mighty and resplendent riches.
4 Victorious, winning
strength, with hero sages, confirmed in power, most useful, wealth-attracting,
True, Indra! crushing forts and slaying Dasyus:
vouchsafe us mighty and resplendent riches.
5 Wealthy in heroes and in cars
and horses, strength hundredfold and thousandfold, O Indra,
With manly sages, happy troops, Iight-winning:
vouchsafe us mighty and resplentdent riches.
6 To Saptagu the sage, the
holy-minded, to him, Brhaspati, the song approaches,
Angiras' Son who must be met with homage:
vouchsafe us mighty and reslendent riches.
7 My lauds, like envoys,
craving loving-kindness, go forth to Indra with their strong entreaty,
Moving his heart and uttered by my spirit:
vouchsafe us mighty and resplendent riches.
8 Grant us the boon for which
I pray, O Indra, a spacious home unmatched among the people.
To this may Heaven and Earth accord approval:
vouchsafe us mighty and resplendent riches.
