HYMN TO INDRA

 

VIII. 54

 

  1. This is that might of thee, O Indra, which doers of the action speak of in their Words. They praise and guard thy energy dripping with light; the people of the city come (reach) to thee by their thinkings.

  1. They by their good action come (reach) to Indra and have his guard, they in whose wine-offerings thou hast delight: even as I approach thee empty of delight, even as I come to thee in my leanness, so in us take thy delight, O Indra.

  1. With that opulent pleasure which is thine, O Indra most full of the plenitudes, awake in us as our companion of the delight for our growth, for the giving of the enjoyment, O slayer of the Coverer.

  1. Lord of battles, king of the Gods, prosper in us, bring us plenitude, O hundred-willed. By the path, by the offerings, by the bringing into being of the gods, we have become full of peace and won inspired knowledge.

  1. For these are his warrior blessings: Indra is the life of men. Come to us, O master of plenitude and guard us: milk out for us a nourishing force.
