Griffith, [1896]\n1 They who stand round him as he moves harness the bright, the ruddy Steed\n The lights are shining in the sky.\n 2 On both sides to the car they yoke the two bay coursers dear to him,\n Bold, tawny, bearers of the Chief.\n 3 Thou, making light where no light was, and form, O men: where form was not,\n Wast born together with the Dawns.\n 4 Thereafter they, as is their wont, threw off the state of babes unborn,\n Assuming sacrificial names.\n 5 Thou, Indra, with the Tempest-Gods, the breakers down of what is firm,\n Foundest the kine even in the cave.\n 6 Worshipping even as they list, singers laud him who findeth wealth,\n The far-renowned, the mighty One.\n 7 Mayest thou verily be seen coming by fearless Indra's side:\n Both joyous, equal in your sheen.\n 8 With Indra's well beloved hosts, the blameless, hastening to heaven,\n The sacrificer cries aloud.\n 9 Come from this place, O Wanderer, or downward from the light of heaven:\n Our songs of praise all yearn for this.\n 10 Indra we seek to give us help, from here, from heaven above the earth,\n Or from the spacious firmament.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN VI.
