Rig-Veda, Book 6: HYMN LVII. Indra and Pūṣan

1. INDRA and Pūṣan will we call for friend ship and prosperity And for the winning of the spoil. 2 One by the Soma sits to drink juice which the mortar hath expressed: The other longs for curd and meal. 3 Goats are the team that draws the one: the other hath Bay Steeds at hand; With both of these he slays the fiends. 4 When Indra, wondrous strong, brought down the streams, the mighty waterfloods, Pūṣan was standing by his side. 5 To this, to Pūṣan's favouring love, and Indra's, may we closely cling, As to a tree's extended bough. 6 As one who drives a car draws in his reins, may we draw Pūṣan near, And Indra, for our great success.
