Griffith, [1896]\n1. THROUGH the fine fingers, with the song, this Hero comes with rapid ears,\n Going to Indra's special place.\n 2 In holy thought he ponders much for the great worship of the Gods.\n Where the Immortals have their seat.\n 3 Like a good horse is he led out, when on the path that shines with light\n The mettled steeds exert their strength.\n 4 He brandishes his horns on high, and whets them Bull who leads the herd,\n Doing with might heroic deeds.\n 5 He moves, a vigorous Steed, adorned with beauteous rays of shining gold,\n Becoming Sovran of the streams.\n 6 He, over places rough to pass, bringing rich treasures closely packed.\n Descends into the reservoirs.\n 7 Men beautify him in the vats, him worthy to be beautified,\n Him who brings forth abundant food.\n 8 Him, even him, the fingers ten and the seven songs make beautiful,\n Well-weaponed, best of gladdeners.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN XV.
