HYMN CXVIII

HYMN CXVIII 1. Indra with all thy saving helps give us assistance, Lord of Power   For after thee we follow even as glorious bliss, thee, Hero,    finder-out of wealth. 2. Increaser of our steeds and multiplying kine, a golden well, O   God, art thou;   For no one may impair the gifts laid up in thee, Bring me what-    ever thing I ask. 3. Indra for worship of the Gods, Indra while sacrifice proceeds,   Indra as warriors in the battle-shock we call, Indra that we may    win the spoil. 4. With might hath Indra spread out heaven and earth, with power    hath Indra lighted up the Sun.   In Indra are all creatures closely held; in him meet the distilling   Soma drops.
