HYMN 3 Indra

1

This, even this, O Indra, we implore: as thy devoted friends,
The Kanvas praise thee with their hymns.

2

Naught else, O Thunderer, have I praised in the skilled singer's eulogy;
On thy laud only have I thought.

3

The Gods seek him who presses out the Soma; they desire not sleep:
They punish sloth unweariedly
