HYMN XL Indu.

SING forth to Indu, O ye men, to him who is purified, fain to make offerings to the Devas.

Together with thy pleasant juice, Divine, devoted to the Deva.

Bring, by thy flowing, weal to kine, weal to the people, weal to steeds.

Weal, O King, to growing plants.

Sing a praise-song to Indu, of independent might. The Blue, who reaches up to Heaven.

With humble homage draw ye nigh. To Indra offer Indu up.

Indu, doing the will of pour forth prosperity upon our kine.

Heart-knower, Sovran of the heart, thou art effused, O Indu, that Indra may drink thee and rejoice.

O Indu, give us riches and heroic strength. Indu! with Indra for his ally.
