Griffith, [1895]\n1Indra, foe-slayer, hath been raised to joy and power by the men.\n \u00a0\u00a0Him, verily, we invocate in battles whether great or small: be\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0he our aid in fights for spoil.\n 2For, Hero, thou art like a host, art giver of abundant prey.\n \u00a0\u00a0Strengthening even the feeble, thou aidest the sacrificer, thou\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0givest the worshipper ample wealth.\n 3When war and battles are on foot, booty is laid before the bold. p. 310\n \u00a0\u00a0Yoke thou thy wildly rushing Bays. Whom wilt thou slay and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0whom enrich? Do thou, O Indra, make us rich,\n 4He, righteous-hearted, at each time of rapture gives us herds of\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0kine.\n \u00a0\u00a0Gather in both thy hands for us treasures of many hundred\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sorts. Sharpen thou us, and bring us wealth.\n 5Refresh thee, Hero, with the juice outpoured for bounty and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for strength.\n \u00a0\u00a0We know thee Lord of ample store, to thee have sent our heart's\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0desires: be therefore our protector thou.\n 6These people, Indra, keep for thee all that is worthy of thy\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0choice.\n \u00a0\u00a0Discover thou, as Lord, the wealth of men who offer up no\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0gifts: bring thou to us this wealth of theirs.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 20: Hymn 56","type":"page"}
