Griffith, [1896]\n1. WITH power and strength, O Mighty God, approach us: be the augmenter, Indra, of these riches;\n Strong Thunderer, Lord of men, for potent valour, for manly exploit and for high dominion.\n 2 Thee, worth invoking, in the din of battle, heroes invoke in fray for life and sunlight.\n Among all people thou art foremost fighter: give up our enemies to easy slaughter.\n 3 When fair bright days shall dawn on us, O Indra, and thou shalt bring thy banner near in battle,\n Agni the Asura shall sit as Herald, calling Gods hither for our great good fortune.\n 4 Thine are we, Indra, thine, both these who praise thee, and those who give rich gifts, O God and Hero.\n Grant to our princes excellent protection, may they wax old and still be strong and happy.\n 5 We will address this liberal Lord, this Indra that he may grant us gifts of ample riches:\n Best favourer of the singer's prayer and praises. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XXX. Indra.","type":"page"}
