Griffith, [1895]\n1All these libations are for thee, O Hero: to thee I offer these\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0my prayers that strengthen.\n \u00a0\u00a0Ever, in every place, must men invoke thee. p. 324\n 2Never do men attain, O Wonder-worker, thy greatness, Mighty\n \u00a0\u00a0One who must be lauded,\n \u00a0\u00a0Nor, Indra, thine heroic power and bounty.\n 3Bring to the Wise, the Great who waxeth mighty your offerings\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and make ready your devotion:\n \u00a0\u00a0To many clans he goeth, man's Controller.\n 4When, with the Princes, Maghavan, famed of old, comes nigh\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the thunderbolt of gold and the Controller's car\n \u00a0\u00a0Which his two tawny coursers draw, then Indra is the Sovran\n \u00a0\u00a0Lord of power whose fame spreads far and wide.\n 5With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0throws drops of moisture on his yellow beard.\n \u00a0\u00a0When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0stirs the worshipper as the wind disturbs the wood.\n 6We laud and praise his several deeds of valour who, fatherlike,.\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0with power hath made us stronger;\n \u00a0\u00a0Who with his voice slew many thousand wicked ones who spake\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in varied manner with contemptuous cries.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 20: Hymn 73","type":"page"}
