HYMN LXXXII

A charm to win a bride 1. I call the name of him who comes, hath come, and still draws-    nigh to us.   Foe-slaying Indra’s name I love, the Vasus’ friend with hundred    powers. 2. Thus Bhaga spake to me: Let him bring thee a consort by the    path.   Whereon the Asvins brought the bride Sūryā the child of   Savitar. 3. Great, Indra. is that hook of thine, bestowing treasure, wrought    of gold:   Therewith, O Lord of Might, bestow a wife on me who long to    wed.
