HYMN 11 Indra

1

In every need, in every fray we call, as friends to succour us,
Indra, the mightiest of all.

2

I call him, mighty to resist, the hero of our ancient home,
Thee whom my sire invoked of old.

3

If he will hear us, let him come with succour of a thousand kinds,
With strength and riches, to our call!
