Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XXXVIII. Indra

1. WIDE, Indra Śatakratu, spreads the bounty of thine ample grace: So, Lord of fair dominion, Friend of all men, give us splendid wealth. 2 The food which, Mightiest Indra, thou possessest worthy of renown Is bruited as most widely famed, invincible, O Golden-hued! 3 O Darter of the Stone, the powers which readily obey thy will,— Divinities, both thou and they, ye rule, to guard them, earth and heaven. 4 And from whatever power of thine, O Vṛtra-slayer, it may be, Bring thou to us heroic strength: thou hast a man's regard for us. 5 In thy protection, with these aids of thine, O Lord of Hundred Powers, Indra, may we be guarded well, Hero, may we be guarded well.
