rvs.1.32	HYMN XXXII. Indra. 32
rvs.1.32	1 I WILL declare the manly deeds of Indra, the first that he achieved, the Thunderwielder-.
rvs.1.32	4 When, Indra, thou hadst slain the dragons' firstborn, and overcome the charms of the enchanters,
rvs.1.32	5 Indra with his own great and deadly thunder smote into pieces Vrtra, worst of Vrtras.
rvs.1.32	6 He, like a mad weak warrior, challenged Indra, the great impetuous manyslaying- Hero.

rvs.1.33	They, like emasculates with men contending, fled, conscious, by steep paths from Indra, scattered.
rvs.1.33	7 Whether they weep or laugh, thou hast overthrown them, O Indra, on the skys' extremest limit.
rvs.1.33	Although they hastened, they overcame not Indra: their spies he compassed with the Sun of morning.
rvs.1.33	9 As thou enjoyest heaven and earth, O Indra, on every side surrounded with thy greatness,
rvs.1.33	Indra, the Bull, made his ally the thunder, and with its light milked cows from out the darkness.
rvs.1.33	Then Indra, with his spirit concentrated, smote him for ever with his strongest weapon.
rvs.1.33	12 Indra broke through Ilibisas' strong castles, and Susna with his horn he cut to pieces:

rvs.1.52	When Indra, thunderarmed-, made bold by Soma draughts, as Trta cleaveth Valas' fences, cleft him
rvs.1.52	What time, O Indra, thou didst cast thy thunder down upon the jaws of Vritra hard to be restrained.
rvs.1.52	7 The hymns which magnify thee, Indra, reach to thee even as waterbrooks- flow down and fill the
rvs.1.52	8 When, Indra, thou whose power is linked with thy Bay Steeds hadst smitten Vrtra, causing floods
rvs.1.52	10 Then Heaven himself, the mighty, at that Dragons' roar reeled back in terror when, Indra, thy
rvs.1.52	11 O Indra, were this earth extended forth tenfold, and men who dwell therein multiplied day by
rvs.1.52	What time thou, Indra, with thy spiky weapon, thy deadly bolt, smotest the face of Vrtra.

rvs.1.61	10 Through his own strength Indra with bolt of thunder cut piecemeal- Vrtra, drier up of waters.

rvs.4.17	11 Indra hath won all kine, all gold, all horses, Maghavan, he who breaketh forts in pieces;
rvs.4.17	12 What is the care of Indra for his Mother, what cares he for the Father who begat him?

rvs.4.17	21 Now, Indra! lauded, glorified with praises, let power swell high like rivers for the singer.
rvs.4.18	HYMN XVIII. Indra and Others. 18
rvs.4.18	5 Deeming him a reproach, his mother hid him, Indra, endowed with all heroic valour.
rvs.4.18	7 Are they addressing him with words of welcome? Will the floods take on them the shame of Indra?
rvs.4.18	To him, mine infant, were the waters gracious. Indra, my Son, rose up in conquering vigour.
rvs.4.18	10 The Heifer hath brought forth the Strong, the Mighty, the unconquerable Bull, the furious Indra.
rvs.4.18	Then Indra said, about to slaughter Vrtra, O my friend Vrtra, stride full boldly forward.
rvs.4.19	HYMN XIX. Indra. 19
rvs.4.19	1. THEE, verily, O Thunderwielding- Indra, all the Gods here, the Helpers swift to listen,
rvs.4.19	2 The Gods, as worn witheld, relaxed their efforts: thou, Indra, born of truth, wast Sovran Ruler.
rvs.4.19	3 The insatiate one, extended, hard to waken, who slumbered in perpetual sleep, O Indra,
rvs.4.19	4 Indra with might shook earth and her foundation as the wind stirs the water with its fury.
rvs.4.19	Thou didst refresh the streams and force the billows: thou, Indra, settest free obstructed rivers.
rvs.4.19	Yea, at their prayer didst check the rushing river and make the floods easy to cross, O Indra.
rvs.4.19	Indra hath set at liberty to wander on earth the streams encompassed pressed together.
rvs.4.19	11 Now, Indra! lauded, glorified with praises, let powers swell high, like rivers, for the singer.
rvs.4.20	HYMN XX. Indra. 20
rvs.4.20	1. FROM near or far away may mighty Indra giver of succour, come for our protection

rvs.4.20	3 Thou, honouring this our sacrifice, O Indra, shalt give us strength and fill us full of courage.
rvs.4.20	4 Loving us well, benevolent, close beside us, drink, Godlike Indra, of the wellpressed- Soma.
rvs.4.20	I, like a bridegroom thinking of his consort, call hither Indra, him invoked of many;
rvs.4.20	6 Him who in native strength is like a mountain, the lofty Indra born or old for conquest,
rvs.4.20	At this new gift, with this laud sung before thee, extolling thee, we, Indra, will declare it.

rvs.4.21	Vent to his voice, inciteth men to worship; with lauds bring Indra hither to our dwellings.
rvs.4.21	9 Auspicious are thy hands, thine arms wellfashioned- which proffer bounty, Indra, to thy praiser.
rvs.4.21	10 So Indra is the truthful Lord of treasure. Freedom he gave to man by slaying Vrtra.
rvs.4.21	11 Now, Indra! lauded, glorified with praises, let power swell high, like rivers, for the singer.
rvs.4.22	HYMN XXII. Indra. 22

rvs.4.24	HYMN XXIV. Indra. 24

rvs.4.24	2 To be invoked and hymned in fight with Vrtra, that wellpraised- Indra gives us real bounties.
rvs.4.24	When warrior bands encounter one another some in the grapple quit themselves like Indra.
rvs.4.24	5 Hence many a one worships the might of Indra: hence let the brew succeed the mealoblation-.
rvs.4.24	6 Indra gives comfort to the man who truly presses, for him who longs for it, the Soma,
rvs.4.24	7 He who this day for Indra presses Soma, prepares the brew and fries the grains of barley;
rvs.4.24	Loving the hymns of that devoted servant, to him may Indra give heroic vigour.
rvs.4.24	10 Who for ten milchkine- purchaseth from me this Indra who is mine?
rvs.4.24	11 Now, Indra! lauded, glorified with praises, let wealth swell high like rivers for the singer.
rvs.4.25	HYMN XXV. Indra. 25
rvs.4.25	Who seeks bond, friendship, brotherhood with Indra? Who hath recourse unto the Sage for succour?
rvs.4.25	Of whose pressed stalk of Soma drink the Asvins, Indra, and Agni, wellinclined- in spirit?
rvs.4.25	Who sayeth, Let us press the juice for Indra, mans' Friend, the Hero manliest of heroes.
rvs.4.25	Dear is the pious, the devout, to Indra dear is the zealous, dear the Somabringer-.
rvs.4.25	6 This Hero curbs the mighty for the zealous: the pressers' brew Indra possesses solely:
rvs.4.25	7 Not with the wealthy churl who pours no Soma doth Indra, Somadrinker-, bind alliance.
rvs.4.25	Indra.
rvs.4.26	HYMN XXVI. Indra. 26
rvs.4.27	The best of sweet meath which the priests have offered: that Indra to his joy may drink, the Hero,

rvs.4.28	2 Indu, with thee for his confederate, Indra swiftly with might pressed down the wheel of Surya.
rvs.4.28	3 Indra smote down, Agni consumed, O Indu, the Dasyus ere the noontide in the conflict.
rvs.4.28	4 Lower than all besides hast thou, O Indra, cast down the Dasyus, abject tribes of Dasas.

rvs.4.30	HYMN XXX. Indra. 30
rvs.4.30	3 Not even all the gathered Gods conquered thee, Indra, in the war,

rvs.4.30	6 When also for a mortal man, Indra, thou speddest forth the Sun,
rvs.4.30	8 And this heroic deed of might thou, Indra, also hast achieved,
rvs.4.30	9 Thou, Indra, Mighty One, didst crush Usas, though Daughter of the Sky.
rvs.4.30	12 Thou, Indra, didst. with magic power resist the overflowing stream
rvs.4.30	14 Thou, Indra, also smotest down Kulitaras' son Sambara,
rvs.4.30	16 So Indra, Lord of Heroes, Powers, caused the unwedded damsels' son,
rvs.4.30	17 So sapient Indra, Lord of Might, brought Turvasa and Yadu, those
rvs.4.30	18 Arna and Citraratha, both Aryas, thou, Indra, slewest swift,
rvs.4.30	20 For Divodasa, him who brought oblations, Indra overthrew

rvs.4.32	6 May we be friends of one like thee, O Indra, with the wealth of kine,
rvs.4.32	7 For thou, O Indra, art alone the Lord of strength that comes from kine
rvs.4.32	Indra, for lively energy.
rvs.4.32	11 The sages sing those manly deeds which, Indra, Lover of the Song,
rvs.4.32	12 Indra, the Gotamas who bring thee praises have grown strong by thee.
rvs.4.32	13 For, Indra, verily thou art the general treasure even of all .
rvs.4.32	14 Excellent Indra, turn to us: glad thee among us with the juice
rvs.4.32	15 May praise from us who think Qn thee, O Indra, bring thee near to us.
rvs.4.32	Much, Indra, wilt thou fain bestow.
rvs.4.33	May Vaja, Vibhvan, Rbhu, joined with Indra , protect our sacrifice, the Somalovers-.

rvs.4.37	8 O Vajas and Rbhuksans, ye Nasatyas, Indra, bless this wealth,
rvs.4.39	Varuna, Mitra, we invoke for welfare, and Agni, and the thunderwielding- Indra.
rvs.4.39	5 Both sides invoke him as they call on Indra when they stir forth and turn to sacrificing.
rvs.4.41	2 He who with dainty food hath won you, Indra and Varuna, Gods, as his allies to friendship,
rvs.4.41	3 Indra and Varuna are most liberal givers of treasure to the men who toil to serve them,
rvs.4.41	4 Indra and Varuna, ye hurl, O Mighty, on him your strongest flashing bolt of thunder
rvs.4.41	9 To Indra and to Varuna, desirous of gaining wealth have these my thoughts proceeded.

rvs.5.30	I asked of others, and they said in answer, May we, awakened men, attain to Indra.
rvs.5.30	3 We will tell, Indra, when we pour libation, what mighty deeds thou hast performed to please us.
rvs.5.30	4 Indra, when born, thou madest firm thy spirit: alone thou seekest war to fight with many.
rvs.5.30	Since then even Gods have been afraid of Indra: he conquered all the floods which served the Dasa.
rvs.5.30	Indra with wondrous powers subdued the Dragon, the guileful lurker who beset the waters.
rvs.5.30	8 Pounding the head of Namuci the Dasa, me, too thou madest thine associate, Indra!
