Chapter I

HYMN 18 Indra

1

For so thou art the brave man's friend; a hero, too, art thou, and strong:
So may thy heart be won us!

2

So hath the offering. wealthiest Lord, been paid by all the worshippers.
So dwell thou, Indra, even with us!

3

Be not thou like a slothful priest, O Lord of spoil and strength: rejoice
In the pressed Soma blent with milk!
