Griffith, [1896]\n1. MAY Indra come to us, he who knows rightly to give forth treasures from his store of riches.\n Even as a thirsty steer who roams the deserts may he drink eagerly the milked-out Soma.\n 2 Lord of Bay Horses, Hero, may the Soma rise to thy cheeks and jaws like mountain-ridges.\n May we, O King, as he who driveth coursers, all joy in thee with hymns, invoked of many!\n 3 Invoked of many, Caster of the Stone my heart quakes like a rolling wheel for fear of penury.\n Shall not Puruvasu the singer give thee praise, O ever-prospering Maghavan, mounted on thy car?\n 4 Like the press-stone is this thy praiser, Indra. Loudly he lifts his voice with strong endeavour.\n With thy left hand, O Maghavan, give us riches: with thy right, Lord of Bays, be not reluctant.\n 5 May the strong Heaven make thee the Strong wax stronger: Strong, thou art borne by thy two strong Bay Horses.\n So, fair of cheek, with mighty chariot, mighty, uphold us, strong-willed, thunderarmed, in battle.\n 6 Maruts, let all the people in obeisance bow down before this youthful Srutaratha,\n Who, rich in steeds, gave me two dark red horses together with three hundred head of cattle.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XXXVI.
