Griffith, [1896]\n1. SOMA unpressed ne\u2019er gladdened liberal Indra, no juices pressed without a prayer have pleased him.\n I generate a laud that shall delight him, new and heroic, so that he may hear us.\n 2 At every laud the Soma gladdens Indra: pressed juices please him as each psalm is chanted,\n What time the priests with one united effort call him to aid, as sons invoke their father.\n 3 These deeds he did; let him achieve new exploits, such as the priests declare at their libations.\n Indra hath taken and possessed all castles, like as one common husband doth his spouses.\n 4 Even thus have they declared him. Famed is Indra as Conqueror, sole distributer of treasures;\n Whose many succours come in close succession. May dear delightful benefits attend us.\n 5 Thus, to bring help to men, Vasi\u1e63\u1e6dha laudeth Indra, the peoples' Hero, at libation.\n Bestow upon us strength and wealth in thousands. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XXVI. Indra.","type":"page"}
