HYMN CXXXVIII

In praise of Indra

1Indra, great in his power and might and, like Parjanya, rich in
   rain,
  Is magnified by Vatsa's lauds,
2When the priests, strengthening the Son of holy Law, present
   their gifts,
  Singers with Order's hymn of praise.
3Since Kanvas with their lauds have made Indra complete the
   sacrifice,
  Words are their own appropriate arms.
