2Forth to the vat the brown drops flow for service, and purified proceed directly forward. May I ndra drink of this, our guest aforetime, Celestial King of the strong draught of Soma. 3 Bringing us hitherward all−potent Indra on well−wheeled chariot, may the Steeds who bear him Convey hi m on the road direct to glory, and ne'er may Vayu's Amrta cease and fail him. 4 Supreme, he stirs this man to give the guerdon,−Indra, most efficacious of the princes,− Wherewith, O Thunderer, thou removest sorrow, and, Bold One! partest wealth among the nobles. 5 Indra is hewho gives e nduring vigour: may our songs magnify the God Most Mighty. Best Vrtra−slayer be the Hero Ind ra these things he gives as Prince, with strong endeavour.

3Associate with him, as teams of horses, help, manly might, and vigour follow Indra. As rivers reach the sea, so, strong with praises, our holy songs reach him the Comprehensive.

4Lauded by us, let flow the spring, O Indra, of excellent and brightly−shining riches. For thou art Lord of men, without an equal: of all the world thou art the only Sovran.

5Hear what thou mayst hear, thou who, fain for worship, as heaven girds earth, guardest thy servant's treasure; Tlat thou mayst be our own, joying in power, famed through thy might in every generation. HYMN XXXVII Indra. 1. LET thy Bay Horses, yoked, O mighty Indra, bring thy car hither fraught with every blessing. For thee, the Heavenly, e'en the poor invoketh: may we this day, thy feast−companions, prosper.
