HYMN VIII. Indu.

OBEYING Indra's dear desire, increasing his heroic might.

Laid in the bowl, pure-flowing on to Soma and the Indra, may These give us great heroic strength.

Indu, incite to bounty Indra's heart, to sit in place of offering.

The ten swift fingers deck thee forth, seven ministers impel thee on. The sages have rejoiced in thee.

When through the filter thou art poured to be a gladdening draught for Devas.

Flow on to us and make us wealthy.

O Indu, flow into thy friend, send down the rain from Heaven, a stream of opulence from Earth.

May we obtain thee, Indra's drink, who viewest men and findest light.
