HYMN LXXXII

A charm to win a bride

1I call the name of him who comes, hath come, and still draws-
   nigh to us. p. a238
  Foe-slaying Indra's name I love, the Vasus' friend with hundred
   powers.
2Thus Bhaga spake to me: Let him bring thee a consort by the
   path.
  Whereon the Asvins brought the bride Sūryā the child of
  Savitar.
3Great, Indra. is that hook of thine, bestowing treasure, wrought
   of gold:
  Therewith, O Lord of Might, bestow a wife on me who long to
   wed.
