Griffith, [1896]\nWHEN with thy mighty help, O potent Indra, the armies rush together in their fury.\n When from the strong man's arm the lightning flieth, let not the mind go forth to side with others.\n 2 O Indra, where the ground is hard to traverse, smite down our foes, the mortals who assail us,\n Keep far from us the curse of the reviler: bring us accumulated store of treasures.\n 3 God of the fair helm, give Sud\u0101s a hundred succours, a thousand blessings, and thy bounty.\n Strike down the weapon of our mortal foeman: bestow upon us splendid fame and riches.\n 4 I wait the power of one like thee, O Indra, gifts of a Helper such as thou art, Hero.\n Strong, Mighty God, dwell with me now and ever: Lord of Bay Horses, do not thou desert us.\n 5 Here are the Kutsas supplicating Indra for might, the Lord of Bays for God-sent conquest.\n Make our foes ever easy to be vanquished: may we, victorious, win the spoil, O Hero.\n 6 With precious things, O Indra, thus content us: may we attain to thine exalted favour.\n Send our chiefs plenteous food with hero children. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XXV. Indra.","type":"page"}
