2So, in thine ancient ways, may he, beloved, with a thousand streams Run o'er the fleecy straining−cloth.

3Him who is like a caldron shake: O Indu, shake thy gift to us Shake it, armed Warrior! with thine arms.

4Indu, invoked with many a prayer, bring down the vigour of these men, Of him who threatens us with war.

5Indu, Wealth−giver, with thine help pour out for us a hundred, yea, A thousand of thy pure bright streams.
