Griffith, [1896]\n1. GIVE us the rapture that is mightiest, Indra, prompt to bestow and swift to aid, O Hero,\n That wins with brave steeds where brave steeds encounter, and quells the V\u1e5btras and the foes in battle.\n 2 For with loud voice the tribes invoke thee, Indra, to aid them in the battlefield of heroes.\n Thou, with the singers, hast pierced through the Pa\u1e47is: the charger whom thou aidest wins the booty.\n 3 Both races, Indra, of opposing foemen, O Hero, both the \u0100rya and the D\u0101sa,\n Hast thou struck down like woods with well-shot lightnings: thou rentest them in fight, most manly Chieftain!\n 4 Indra, befriend us with no scanty succour, prosper and aid us, Loved of all that liveth,\n When, fighting for the sunlight, we invoke thee, O Hero, in the fray, in war's division.\n 5 Be ours, O Indra, now and for the future, be graciously inclined and near to help us.\n Thus may we, singing, sheltered by the Mighty, win many cattle on the day of trial.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 6: HYMN XXXIII.
