HYMN LI

HYMN LI 1. For you will I sing Indra’s praise who gives good gifts as well we    know;   Praise of the Bounteous Lord who, rich in treasure, aids his    singers with wealth thousandfold. 2. As with a hundred hosts he rushes boldly on, and for the offerer    slays his foes.   As from a mountain flow the water-brooks, thus flow his gifts    who feedeth many a one. 3. Sakra I praise, for victory, far-famed, exceeding bountiful.   Who gives, as ’twere in thousands, precious wealth to him who    sheds the juice and worships him. 4. Arrows with hundred points, unconquerable, are this Indra’s    mighty arms in war.   He streams on liberal worshippers like a hill with springs, when    juices poured have gladdened him.
