Book 6: Hymn 98: Praise of Indra

HYMN XCVIII

Praise of Indra

1Indra be victor, never to be vanquished, to reign among the
Kings as sovran ruler! p. a246
Here be thou meet for praise and supplication, to be revered
and waited on and worshipped.
2Thou fain for glory, an imperial ruler, hast won dominion over
men, O Indra,
Of these celestial tribes be thou the sovran: long-lasting be thy
sway and undecaying!
3Thou governest the north and eastern regions, Indra! fiend-
slayer! thou destroycst foemen.
Thou hast won all, far as the rivers wander. Bull, called to
help, on our right hand thou goest.
