Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1Let sacrifice, like fame, thrive sped by Indra, inspired, well-
ordered, with a thousand powers.
To highest rank raise me who bring oblation, me who move
forth to far-extended vision.
2We will pay sacrifice and serve with worship our glorious Indra,
famous for his glories.
Give thou us sway which Indra hath promoted, and in this boon
of thine may we be famous.
3Indra was glorious at his birth; Agni, Soma were born
renowned.
And glorious am I, the most illustrious of all that is.
