HYMN VII

HYMN VII 1. Sūrya, thou mountest up to meet the Hero famous for his    wealth,   Who hurls the bolt and works for man: 2. Him who with might of both his arms brake nine-and ninety    castles down,   Slew Vritra and smote Ahi dead. 3. This Indra is our gracious Friend. He sends us in a full broad    stream   Riches in horses, kine, and corn. 4. Indra, whom many laud, accept the strength-conferring Soma    juice.   Quaff, pour down drink that satisfies.
