XII Indra

1. O Indra, thou art far-renowned, impetuous Lord of power and might.

Alone, the never-conquered guardian of mankind, thou smitest down resistless foes.

2. As such we seek thee now, O Asura, the most wise, craving thy bounty as our share

Thy sheltering defence is like an ample cloak. So may thy favours reach to us.
