HYMN IX. Indra.

ENDOWED, O Devas, with your primeval wisdom, come quickly with your chariot, O ye Holy.

Come with your mighty powers, O ye Nāsatyas; come hither, drink ye this the third libation.

The truthful Deities, the Three-and-Thirty, saw you approach before the Ever-Truthful. Accepting this our worship and libation, O Indra bright with fire, drink ye the Soma.

Indra, that work of yours deserves our wonder.the Bull of Heaven and Earth and air's mid region; Yea, and your thousand promises in battle, -to all of these come near and drink beside us.

Here is your portion laid for you, ye Holy: come to these songs of ours, O ye Nāsatyas. Drink among us the Soma full of sweetness, and with your powers assist the man who worships.
