HYMN CVIII

HYMN CVIII 1. O Indra, bring great strength to us, bring valour, Satakratu, thou    most active, bring.   A hero conquering in war. 2. For, gracious Satakratu, thou hast ever been a mother and a    sire to us,   So now for bliss we pray to thee. 3. To thee, Strong, Much-invoked who showest forth thy strength,   O Satakratu, do I speak:   So grant thou us heroic might.
