HYMN 23 Indra

1

This Soma hath been pressed for thee, O Indra, bold one, mightiest, come!
May Indra vigour fill thee full, as Surya fills mid-air with rays

2

Slayer of Vritra, mount thy car! The bay steeds have been yoked by prayer.
May, with its voice, the pressing-stone draw thine attention hitherward!

3

His pair of tawny coursers bring Indra, resistless in his might.
Hither to Rishis' songs of praise and sacrifice performed by men.
