Decade I. Indra
1Giver from all sides, bring to us from every side, thou whom as strongest we entreat!
2This Brahman, comer at due time, named Indra, is renowned and praised.
3The Brahmans with their hymns exalting Indra increased his strength that he might slaughter Ahi.
4Anavas wrought a chariot for thy courser, and Tvashtar, much-invoked! the bolt that gitters:
5Rest, wealth to him who longs for wealth! the riteless stirs not his love nor wins his way to riches.
6The cows are ever pure and all-supporting, the Gods are ever free from stain and blemish.
7With all thy beauty come! The kine approaching with full udders follow on thy path.
8May we, inhabiting a meath-rich dwelling, increase our wealth, and think of thee, O Indra!
9The Maruts with fair hymns chant out their praise-song: this Indra, famed and youthful, shouts
10Sing to your Indra, mightiest Vritra-slayer, sing to the Sage the song that he accepteth!
