HYMN 9 Indra

1

If  I, O Indra, were like thee, the single ruler over wealth.
My worshipper should be rich in kine.

2

I should be fain, O Lord of power, to strengthen and enrich thesage,
Where I the ford of herds of kine.

3

Thy goodness, Indra, is a cow yielding in plenty kine and steeds.
To worshippers who press the juice.
