HYMN LIV

HYMN LIV 1. Of one accord they made and formed for kingship Indra, the   Hero who in all encounters overcometh,   Most eminent for power, destroyer in the conflict, fierce and    exceeding strong, stalwart and full of vigour. 2. Bards joined in song to Indra so that he might drink the Soma    juice, The Lord of Light, that he whose laws stand fast might aid with    power and with help he gives. 3. The holy sages form a ring, looking and singing to the Ram.   Your very bright inciters, void of all deceit, are with the chan-    ters nigh to hear.
