Griffith, [1896]\n1. SAKRA I praise, to win his aid, far-famed, exceeding bountiful,\n Who gives, as \u2019twere in thousands, precious wealth to him who sheds the juice and worships him.\n 2 Arrows with hundred points, unconquerable, are this Indra's n-dghty arms in war.\n He streams on liberal worshippers like a hill with springs, when juices poured have gladdened him.\n 3 What time the flowing Soma-drops have gladdened with their taste the Friend,\n Like water, gracious Lord! were my libations made, like milch-kine to the worshipper.\n 4 To him the peerless, who is calling you to give you aid, forth flow the drops of pleasant meath.\n The Soloa-drops which call on thee, O gracious Lord, have brought thee to our hymn of praise.\n 5 He rushes hurrying like a steed to Soma that adorns our rite,\n Which hymns make sweet to thee, lover of pleasant food. The call to Paura thou dost love.\n 6 Praise the strong, grasping Hero, winner of the spoil, ruling supreme oer mighty wealth.\n Like a full spring, O Thunderer, from thy store hast thou poured on the worshipper evermore.\n 7 Now whether thou be far away, or in the heavens, or on the earth,\n O Indra, mighty- thoughted, harnessing thy Bays, come Lofty with the Lofty Ones.\n 8 The Bays who draw thy chariot, Steeds who injure none, surpass the wind's impetuous strength-\n With whom thou silencest the enemy of man, with whon; thou goest round the sky.\n 9 O gracious Hero, may we learn anew to know thee as thou art:\n As in decisive fight thou holpest Eta\u015ba, or Va\u015ba 'gainst Dasavraja,\n 10 As, Maghavan, to Ka\u1e47va at the sacred feast, to Dirghanitha thine home-friend,\n As to Gosarya thou, Stone-darter, gavest wealth, give me a gold-bright stall of kine.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 8: HYMN II.
