Rig Veda Mandal - 10 (Part - 10) HYMN 43 Indra1 IN perfect unison all yearning hymns of mine that find the light of heaven have sung forth Indra's
praise. 2 Directed unto thee my spirit never strays, for I have set my hopes on thee, O Much-invoked! 3 From indigence and hunger Indra turns away: Maghavan hath dominion over precious wealth. 4 As on the fair-leafed tree rest birds, to Indra flow the gladdening Soma juices that the bowls
contain. 5 As in the game a gambler piles his winnings, so Maghavan, sweeping all together, gained the Sun 6 Maghavan came by turns to all the tribes of men: the Steer took notice of the people's songs of
praise. 7 When Soma streams together unto Indra flow like waters to the river, rivulets to the lake, 8 He rushes through the region like a furious Bull, he who hath made these floods the dames of
worthy lords. 9 Let the keen axe come forth together with the light: here be,.as erst, the teeming cow of sacrifice. 10 O Much-invoked, may we subdue all famine and evil want with store of grain and cattle. 11 Brhaspati protect us from the rearward, and from above, and from below, from sinners.
