HYMN XIX

HYMN XIX 1. O Indra, for the strength that slays the foe and conquers in the    fight   We turn thee hitherward to us. 2. O Indra, Lord of Hundred Powers, may those who praise thee    hitherward.   Direct thy spirit and thine eye. 3. O Indra, Lord of Hundred Powers, with all our songs we    invocate.   Thy names for triumph over foes. 4. We strive for glory through the powers immense of him whom    many praise,   Of Indra who supports mankind. 5. For the foe's slaughter I address Indra whom many invocate,   To win us booty in the wars. 6. In battles be victorious. We seek thee, Lord of Hundred Powers,   O Indra, that the foe may fall. 7. In splendid combats of the hosts, in glories where the fight is    won,   Indra, be victor over foes.
