“Indra, bring wealth that gives delight, the victor’s ever-conquering wealth,
Most excellent to our aid;
By means of which we may repel our foes in battle hand to hand,
By thee assisted with the car.
Aided by thee, the thunder-armed, may we lift up the bolt,
And conquer all our foes in fight.
And thee, O Indra, for ally with missile-darting heroes, may
We conquer our embattled foes.” ¹
